Accreditation, Certification, Endorsement
Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) - Accreditation
The Bachelor of Science in Technology (B.S.Tech) degree program in Industrial Technology at the University of Idaho is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
Learning Outcomes and Competencies
The INDT program differs from many other degree programs that are accredited by ATMAE, in that our curriculum focuses on academic knowledge and capabilities, rather than on crafts skills such as welding, metalwork and machine operation. The program’s present general learning outcomes and more specific competencies are as follows:
American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) - Certification
University of Idaho's College of Engineering graduate program in Engineering Management is certified through 2024 by the American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM).
Program Outcomes
- To expand and reinforce your existing engineering skill set
- To thoroughly examine the roles and responsibilities of an engineering manager
- To provide you with a solid foundation in engineering management and business approaches, tools and practices
- To prepare you with the knowledge and skills you will need to effectively lead a technical team
- To improve the communication skills required for success in an engineering leadership role
International Nuclear Management Academy (INMA) International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - Endorsement
The master's programs in technology management (TM) or in nuclear engineering (NE) combined with the nuclear technology management (NTM) graduate academic certificate program at University of Idaho has been recognized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as an International Nuclear Management Academy (INMA) Endorsed Program. University of Idaho has become a member of the IAEA-INMA. “INMA supports universities to establish and deliver master’s degree programmes focusing on technology management for the nuclear sector. INMA targets managers and future managers working in the nuclear energy sector including power and non-power applications.” The master’s degree students in nuclear engineering or technology management plus the NTM graduate academic certificate will receive an INMA-endorsed certificate at successful completion of their studies.
Being a member of INMA helps foster communication, collaboration to discuss nuclear technology management, and discussions on how best to develop and improve curriculums with participating universities. To have a program recognized by INMA, the program must meet the requirements listed below:
- External Environment (to cover political, legal, regulatory, business and societal environmental subjects);
- Technology (to teach the basics of nuclear technology, engineering and applications);
- Management (to address the challenges and practices of management in the nuclear sector, such as project management, human resource management, and nuclear emergency response); and
- Leadership (which is aligned with strategy, corporate ethics and values).
