ATMAE- Technology Management

The primary purpose of the Association of Technology Management and Applied Engineering is to provide recognition of the attainment of certain professional goals and standards for Technology Management. The secondary purpose is to encourage others to strive toward these goals and standards. Each program was reviewed in terms of its stated objectives, content, methods, supporting resources, and evaluation systems.

The Technology Management program is a field of study designed to prepare technical and/or management-oriented professionals for employment in business, industry, education, and government. It is primarily involved with the management, operation, and maintenance of complex technological systems. The Technology Management program is accredited by the Association of Technology Management and Applied Engineering. The Technology Management Program received full re-accreditation in 2016.

Technology Management Accreditation

The Technology Management Program within the Department of Engineering and Technology is accredited by the Association of Technology Management and Applied Engineering. Since 1967 ATMAE members, who are college and university educators, administrators, students, and industry professionals, have been dedicated to solving complex technological problems and developing the competitive technologist and applied engineering workforce. ATMAE does this through specialized accreditation for 2-year, 4-year, and master's degree programs, personal certifications, an annual national conference, publications, awards and scholarships, a career center, a website filled with valuable content, and numerous opportunities to develop professionally.
