Industrial Technology

Industrial technology as an academic course of study focuses on the principles and practices involved in the manufacturing and production processes of goods. It encompasses topics such as production planning, process optimization, quality control, supply chain management, and the use of technology in manufacturing. Students learn about the design and operation of production systems, lean manufacturing techniques, and the application of industrial engineering principles to improve efficiency and productivity. The course often includes practical components such as laboratory work, internships, and case studies to provide hands-on experience and real-world insights into the industrial production environment.
