with students in and out of the classroom. They are
actively engaged in research in areas such as: Signal
Processing, Artificial Neural Networks, Network
Security, CAD/CAM, Product Modeling, Tolerance
Representations, and other leading technologies.
Adjunct faculty members bring current industrial
practices into the classroom. Many faculty members
are consultants in business and education and hold
offices in regional, national, and international
technology organizations.
Mission
The mission of the Department of Technology is to
promote the transmission, expansion, and application of
technical knowledge through teaching, research, and
community service. The programs offered by the
department prepare technically oriented professionals for
leadership, management, and service positions in
business, industry, education, and government. The
primary purpose of the department is to provide
technology-related
undergraduate,
graduate
and
continuing professional education programs to support
the career goals of individuals entering and advancing in
technical and managerial positions at all levels of
industry, business, and education.
Resources
The Department of Technology is housed in the
Technology Building, which consists of classrooms,
laboratories, and faculty offices.
The laboratories
provide an environment for hands-on instruction related
to telecommunications, digital signal processing, RF
circuit design, microprocessor applications, robotics,
Computer Aided Design (CAD), computer animation and
rapid prototyping, Computer Aided Manufacturing and
Computer Numerical Control (CAM/CNC), and computer
automated systems. Computer laboratories are well
equipped for network administration training purposes.
All computer labs are connected to the University’s
Intranet/Internet and are equipped with state-of-the-art
computers. Laboratories are open daily from 8 a.m. to 10
p.m. for classes and technology student’s use.
Degrees
The Department of Technology currently offers a B.S.
degree program in Computer Integrated Design and
Manufacturing Technology, a B.S. degree program in
Telecommunications and Information Technology, and a
B.S. degree program in Industrial Technology. The
programs prepare technically oriented professionals for
leadership, management, and service positions in local,
regional, and international organizations.
The Bachelor of Science degree programs offered by the
Department of Technology are built upon the Kean
University General Education Core curriculum and are
designed to meet the needs of individuals interested in
technical and managerial careers in business, government,
and industry. Kean University offers the only technology
programs accredited by the National Association of
Industrial Technology (NAIT) in the State of New Jersey.
Many technology students find employment while
completing their undergraduate studies. Alumni are
employed in industry, business, government, education
and many pursue graduate education or advanced
training.
B.S. in Computer Integrated Design and
Manufacturing Technology (CIDMT)
The CIDMT curriculum covers a variety of state-of-theart topics and technologies that are involved in almost
every phase of the product development. The program
focuses on Computer Integrated Design and
Manufacturing Technologies and includes: Computer
Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing, work
measurement, quality control, lean manufacturing,
engineering economy, product design & development,
robotics, industrial management, automated warehouse
management, manufacturing systems, production and
inventory control, integration and networking.
B.S. in Telecommunications and
Information Technology (TCOM)
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunications
and Information Technology addresses the growing local
and national need for highly skilled professionals
prepared to assume the many technical and managerial
careers in the rapidly changing telecommunications
industries. The expansion of digital technologies and the
transformation to a knowledge-based economy mean that
there will be a demand for well-trained professionals in
