Industrial technology is the application of science and technology to create better manufacturing processes, more efficient, and cheaper manufacturing processes. The industrial technology area employs highly skilled and creative people who are able to assist a business achieve profitable and efficient manufacturing. One of the most important areas of the study of industrial technology deals with the design and creation of products. These products can be anything from cars to clothing. The process of design and creation can either be left to highly trained professionals in industrial design or it can be left to computer software designed to aid in the design and creation of products.

The other major area of the study of industrial technology deals with the creation of complex technological systems. This type of system may be something as simple as a piece of machinery or a complex electronic system. For example, the creation of complex electronic systems such as automobiles involves the application of complex technological systems thinking. One example of such a system is the Electronic Control (EC), which is responsible for the overall operation of the vehicle. The Electric Vehicle Information System (EVIS) also falls under the EC description. Both of these examples involve complex technological systems requiring innovative solutions from designers and engineers.

Designing and creating products is only one aspect of industrial technology. There are also other more important factors involved such as the utilization of energy in all processes. There are three primary categories of energy that are largely involved in modern-day industrial design and engineering practices: heat, light, and water. The most common types of energy that are typically used in the processes of industrial design and engineering include electricity, gas, steam, and crude oil.



The third area of industrial technology deals with the management of the entire process. This is where the person behind the creation of the product or the system ultimately meets his or her end. Industrial engineering can be broadly defined according to the classification used by the American Industrial Power Association (API). This association defines industrial engineering as the study, development, management, technology, and waste management of any structure or equipment in a commercial environment, particularly one where there are direct and long-term interactions with customers. This definition is somewhat broad, but it is generally accepted across the industry.

Industrial engineering is responsible for the design and fabrication of complex technological systems that are then controlled to provide the best results in the shortest possible time. The term ‘industrial technology’ is widely applied in many different contexts, but it generally means the management of the entire process. Some of the processes considered to be involved in industrial technology include processes involving the manufacture of products and the assembly of those products, processes involving the design of manufacturing or industrial processes, and even the design and manufacture of parts and components for a structure.

A qualified engineer working within the field of industrial technology has the opportunity to utilize specialized knowledge in fields such as mathematics, physical sciences, and chemistry. In order to become successful in a job within the manufacturing industry, an engineer must possess these specialized skills. In addition, engineers who work in the field of industrial engineering are typically required to have a Bachelor’s degree in an area of specialization, in addition to at least five years of relevant work experience. In most cases, graduates of any of the four main engineering schools are immediately eligible for employment in major manufacturing companies.
