Industrial Technologist
Industrial Technology program graduates obtain a majority of positions which are applied engineering and/or management oriented. Since "Industrial Technologist" is not a common job title in the United States, the actual bachelor degree earned by the individual is obscured by the job title he/she receives. Typical job titles for degreed industrial technologists include production manager, plant manager, project manager, production supervisor, project engineer, manufacturing engineer, process engineer, etc.
A technologist curriculum may focus or specialize in a certain technical area of study. Examples of this includes electronics, manufacturing, construction, graphics, automation/robotics, CADD, nanotechnology, aviation, etc. Industrial Technology is considered to be a career path that is separate and distinct from that of engineering. The Council for Higher Education (CHEA) acknowledges technology and engineering as independent career paths.

There can be no more playing safe.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“I don’t believe in providence and fate, as a technologist I am used to reckoning with the formulae of probability.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
