The Industrial Technology Associate in Science Degree is designed to give students a broad understanding of communications, business finance, graphics, construction, manufacturing, and transportation systems, as well as many other subjects that are found in today’s industry. Students are given instructions in various skill areas that can be applied directly in the workforce, such as in the manufacturing of products; designing of products with computer-aided design (CAD) software; constructions of buildings; repairing of automobiles; printing; photography; and other communication media skills for various TV, film, internet, print shops, and entertainment industries. A variety of businesses and industries are in need of individuals who have the knowledge and flexibility to learn, implement and manage new technology within complex business environments. Schools need well prepared industrial and technology education teachers to help educate and guide young men and women into high technology careers. On the business and industry side, Industrial Technology majors assume roles as "Industrial Technologists" in a wide variety of industrial and business settings and they understand managerial concepts and principles. Common to all Industrial Technologists is the focus on continuous improvement in the areas of productivity and quality. Technologists apply management theory and practice with technical skills to solve problems. Students typically go on to a 4 year institution to further their studies in specialties related to industry needs. At least one half of the units toward the degree must be completed at Fullerton College. This degree requires a total of 18-21.5 units.

Program Student Learning Outcomes:

🗸 Describe occupations typically found in each industry/technical area such as manufacturing, automotive, photography, construction, welding, printing and drafting.

🗸 Apply theories and principles to solve technical and management problems.

🗸 Design, test and analyze a system or process to meet desired needs.

🗸 Apply good written, oral communication and presentation skills.

🗸 Collect and interpret data to analyze and solve problems.

🗸 Select and use computer applications software.

Physics is the most fundamental science and underlies our understanding of nearly all areas of science and technology. In a broad sense, physics is concerned with the study of energy, space, and matter, and with the interactions between matter and the laws that govern these interactions. More specifically, physicists study mechanics, heat, light, electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, and condensed matter physics.

The BS degrees are recommended for students seeking a career in the technology sector or planning to pursue a graduate degree.

The Science Subject Matter Program (SSMP), with emphases in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Physics, leads to a BA degree in the area of emphasis. It also meets the latest California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) subject-matter requirement to enter a teaching credential program in California. In order to obtain a California K-12 Teaching Credential, a program of professional education preparation (a teaching credential program) is required in addition to completing the SSMP. Completing the SSMP and teaching credential program allows graduates to teach all four sciences (biology, chemistry, geoscience, and physics) at the general/integrated 7th-12th grade science level, in addition to the student's area of concentration at the advanced high school level. A typical credential might read, for example, SCIENCE: Chemistry.

The BA degree is recommended for students who are interested in teaching Physics in high school or who want a liberal arts education with an emphasis in Physics. Physics majors are encouraged to take additional mathematics and to develop skills in the use of computers.

Statistics is the science and art of creating meaning from data. The statistics bachelor’s degree provides students with a solid foundation in the theory, methods, and applications of statistical analysis. Students will analyze real world data sets, model complex phenomena, use professional software, and produce a portfolio of meaningful projects. Graduates will have the skills and knowledge needed to excel in a data-driven world.

All statistics majors will study a rigorous core curriculum and choose an emphasis for more specialized coursework. The core curriculum includes probability, mathematical statistics, computing, linear models, machine learning, and culminates in a semester-long capstone project. The emphasis in mathematical statistics prepares students for graduate study in statistics. The emphasis in applied statistics is versatile, allowing students to tailor the degree to their interests. The emphasis in data science includes additional instruction in computing to prepare graduates for careers in technology.
