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:
Competencies: They are able to:
- Apply theories and principles from mathematics, physical science, and computer applications and information technology to solve practical technology problems.
- Apply quality, safety, and industrial technology skills in a professional work environment within real world constraints.
- Demonstrate proficiency in the use of robotics and manufacturing equipment to solve practical technology and engineering problems.
- Apply the principles of cognitive systems and human performance to perform task analyses and evaluate human-computer/machine interfaces.
- Interpret, describe, and implement information contained in typical project specifications.
Competencies: They are able to:
- Demonstrate project management skills by applying time value of money, select and implement cost-effective solutions and understand cost-accounting and effective scheduling principles.
- Develop, motivate, direct, and assist teams in applying critical thinking concepts to solve technology and engineering problems.
- Identify customer project goals, financial needs, timeline constraints, and other customer service based efforts.
Competencies: They are able to:
- Demonstrate good written and oral communication skills and use current multimedia tools to convey information.
- Draw conclusions from and explain information synthesized from several sources.
- Manage dispute resolution to mutually beneficial accord.
Competencies: They are able to:
- Analyze contemporary issues for pertinence and potential impacts.
- Describe and evaluate professional and ethical responsibilities.
- Demonstrate the ability to adapt emerging technologies.
- Recognize and evaluate the impact of engineering decisions in a global and societal context.
- Put into practice the concepts of service learning.
Industrial Technology Graduation and Retention
The U of I Office of Institutional Research is the source for comprehensive information, analyses and university statistics based on university databases. The data cannot personally identify a student, rather it is an aggregate of data that is posted on a public site.
Mean GPA of Graduates 2018-2023
The U of I GPA has been calculated for the graduates for the previous five academic years.
- 3.62
Average Years to Complete Degree 2018-2023
The average years to complete the degree after admission to the program at University of Idaho has been calculated for the graduates for the previous five academic years. The typical student in the program is employed full-time and enrolled in a courseload that is considered part-time. This results in a longer than usual time to complete the bachelor's degree. Stop-out semesters when a student doesn’t enroll at University of Idaho are included in the calculation.
- 8 years
Cost of Attendance
Tuition and Fees are set in late Spring by the Idaho State Board of Education for the upcoming academic term to begin in the fall of the year the charges are set. Charges listed are per semester.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Students are automatically considered for U of I institutional aid with no separate scholarship application required.

Career Services First Destination Survey provides a compilation of initial career outcomes for graduates from 2015 to 2021. The survey is conducted three times each year for each graduating class. College-Specific (i.e. Engineering) Outcomes are displayed on the RPubs dashboard.
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).
