Utah Valley State College 2008-2009 Course Catalog - (Page 221) Technology Management Technology Management department chair: david Johnson Office: GT 616c Telephone: 801-863-6152 Administrative Support Alesha Healey GT 616 Telephone: 801-863-8137 While the Technology Management Degree was one of the first four-year degrees to be offered at UVU, it is also dynamic and changing to reach interested students and to add flexibility in meeting individual needs. The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Technology has been designed for individuals working in a technical area who have considerable work experience and/or have obtained specialized certifications, licenses, apprenticeships, etc. Many of these students will be looking for a degree to allow them better upward mobility in their jobs or careers, or be looking for education that may make it possible for them to more successfully launch their own businesses. Students are required to take a class to develop a portfolio that presents licenses and work-related certifications as well as provides a rationale for receiving technical, experiential credit. Each portfolio will be reviewed by a committee comprised of professors and technical experts in the student’s discipline to determine the number of experiential credits that will be assigned. Core courses will provide fundamental knowledge of contemporary technologies and elective courses will allow the student to enhance the technical skills in one or more technical areas. A supervisory course is also required so students can learn to manage workers in technologically intensive organizations. If we can be of service to you in any way, please feel free to contact us.

Students may enter the program with an AAS degree in an approved technical area or an AS degree containing at least 45 credit hours in an approved technical specialty. Students may also enter the program as freshmen and take their technology and management courses concurrently. As part of the degree, students may also pursue optional certifications in such areas as project management and quality control. We view Technology as the practical application of knowledge, or a capability given by such, and see Management skills as keys that help bring innovation and change along with efficiency, effectiveness, continuity, quality, and safety to the process. In addition, we recognize the responsibility that all of us have to understand the impact of technology on society and to address the social and moral issues associated with the appropriate use of technology. cArEEr opportunItIES Multiple opportunities exist for students completing the Technology Management degree in corporate and operations management; as business owners, project managers, site superintendents, marketing and sales representatives, supervisors, and chief project officers. State agencies and the U.S. military also hire Technology Management graduates. Based on a survey conducted in 2005, salaries range from $40,000 to $110,000. Companies seeking globally competitive managers, who have experience and knowledge of both the analytic and applied aspects of professional management are especially interested in our graduates. The AAS Degree in Technology provides students the opportunity to move into supervisory positions or for continuing their education into the BS Degree in Technology Management.
