Welcome to Industrial Technology and Management (INTM) at Illinois Institute of Technology. This is a special time in INTM as our program celebrates 30 years. Our bachelor’s degree in industrial technology and management began in 1994, and it was later followed by our master’s degree in industrial technology and operations in 2001.
The INTM program is designed for the complex, fast-paced, and often high-risk environment of industry, where technical and managerial competency—along with ability to lead, communicate, collaborate, and make effective decisions—are all vital skills. The success of our INTM graduates in diverse industry environments is intrinsically linked to education, thoughtfulness, leadership, and ethics. These are the values that we instill every day.
Illinois Tech offers unique degree programs in an experiential learning environment that meets the needs of today’s students. The INTM program was built on a foundation of industry engagement and a practical focus. Our courses are taught by world-class faculty who bring years of professional industry experience into the classroom.
The INTM program’s value-added curriculum emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and aptitude that are critical to achieving business and operations success in the workplace. We offer specializations in manufacturing technology, construction technology, facilities management, supply chain management and logistics, and sustainability. These are the pillars of successful business enterprise in the modern manufacturing and service economy.
We are renewing efforts to enhance industry engagement and to increase involvement with our alumni. The INTM program recently moved into Armour College of Engineering, enabling new student-faculty interactions and enhancing future development. This alignment with Armour amplifies INTM’s collaborations and contributions to excellence in research and workforce development at Illinois Tech.
Illinois Tech is located just 30 blocks from the skyline of Chicago—an iconic city with unmatched economic vitality and rich cultural diversity. The campus is housed in the largest group of buildings designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. With its acclaimed Modernist architecture and a campus that attained the first arboretum designation on the South Side of the city, Illinois Tech offers one-of-a-kind connectivity to culture, dining, travel, and experiential learning opportunities.
On behalf of all the INTM faculty and staff, we look forward to learning about you and your interests in Illinois Tech. Let us show you how the INTM program is the right opportunity for you.
