School of Engineering and TechnologyBSITM/MSENM-TM Transition ProgramAllows currently enrolled BSITM students to register for twoMSENM-TM courses as electives for their BSITM degree. Studentscan select any two of the following courses: TMG620, TMG625,TMG635, or TMG640. The number of courses required to earn anMSENM-TM degree for Transition Program students is reduced from12 to 10 courses, depending on courses taken and grades earned.Degree RequirementsTo receive a Bachelor of Science in Information TechnologyManagement, students must complete at least 180 quarter units, 76.5of which must be completed at the upper-division level and 45 ofwhich must be taken in residence, including the capstone projectclasses (ITM 490 A/B). In the absence of transfer credit, students mayneed to take additional general electives to satisfy the total units forthe degree. Students should refer to the section on undergraduateadmission procedures for specific information on admission andevaluation.Prerequisites for the Major(4 courses; 18 quarter units)Students should be computer literate and have a basic understandingof computer usage.ITM 200 Basic Computer H/W & S/WITM 205 Office Productivity SoftwareITM 210 Introduction to ITITM 230 Computer Networks OverviewRequirements for the Major(14 courses; 63 quarter units)ITM 320ITM 340ITM 345ITM 350ITM 420ITM 430ITM 434ITM 435ITM 440ITM 450ITM 470ITM 475ITM 490AITM 490BInformation Technology Mgmt(Prerequisite: ITM 210)IT Client using M/S WindowsIT Server Using LinuxDesktop Applications Support(Prerequisite: ITM 205)Local Area NetworksWide Area Networks(Prerequisite: ITM 420)Wireless LAN AdministrationWireless LAN Security(Prerequisite: ITM 434)Database Concepts & Data ModelsDB Processing & Administration(Prerequisite: ITM 440)Information Security MgmtInfo Security Technologies(Prerequisite: ITM 470)IT Project I(Prerequisite: 10 of the ITM courses must be successfullycompleted)IT Project II(Prerequisite: ITM 490A)Upper-Division Electives(2 courses; 9 quarter units)Students can choose any approved upper-division degree relatedelectives from the School of Business and Management or the Schoolof Engineering and Technology.

Graduates of this program will have competency in thefundamentals of evolving automated manufacturing technology andprovide the industry with a source for qualified graduates to applyengineering principles in the design of automated and computerintegrated manufacturing systems.Upon completion of this degree, students will be prepared to holdpositions such as manufacturing system design engineer, designsupervisor for engineering projects, and product design engineer.The program blends together professional components from thetraditional engineering curricula with the practical aspects ofprogramming applications, engineering project managementstandards, and simulation modeling techniques. It also combinesknowledge and practices needed for professionals working onengineering projects that require innovative and interdisciplinarybackground, skills, and experience.Program Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:• Combine knowledge and practices needed for working onengineering projects that require innovative andinterdisciplinary background, skills, and experience.• Utilize product design optimization concepts in engineeringapplications.• Integrate software and hardware components by applying thestate-of-the-art computer-aided engineering tools andengineering graphics techniques and methodologies.• Apply the practical aspects of programming applications forsolving diversified engineering problems.• Apply contemporary simulation and modeling techniques forenhancement of engineering design.• Integrate engineering project management standards for efficientand competitive design of engineering products and processes.• Apply the concepts of engineering experiment design andanalysis.• Iimplement the concept of reliability engineering.• Analyze human factors, ergonomics, and safety issues as part ofthe requirements for design of engineering systems, products,and services.• Demonstrate knowledge of computer aided engineering toolssuch as AutoCAD 2002, MATLAB, and SolidWorks.• Analyze a production problem and design and/or develop amanufacturing system.Degree RequirementsTo receive a Bachelor Science in Manufacturing Design Engineering,students must complete at least 180 quarter units, 76.5 of whichmust be completed at the upper-division level and 45 of whichmust be taken in residence, including the research project classes. Inthe absence of transfer credit, students may need to take additionalgeneral electives to satisfy the total units for the degree.
