Technology management I believe differs from business management and other management programs
because it is technology based so you know kind of where a business degree you are getting
the core business course objectives with this I think there is more of the emphasis on technology.
Technology management in regards to my job is managing those resources, understanding
those resources necessary to grow a company and to create a company.
Even though the program is offered online and I live in the surrounding community I still felt a part of
Western Kentucky University I had a lot of correspondence with my faculty and my advisors and go to them
at any time and any method that I felt that I needed to and to take care of any situations.
With me taking classes online it allows me the opportunity to still go out and coach
rugby throughout the evenings. I do not have to worry about going to class at a certain
time or showing up and doing a project at a certain time everything is at my own pace
on the weekends I can travel to our away games and still do all my online homework after
the away games and still have a great time playing rugby.
What am I interested in is quality like quality assurance, quality control, quality management, and also safety issues
these are all offered by technology management.
I am using my degree to help, I have started a business of my own as an entrepreneur
and I have used those classes that were involved in my degree
to help start that business as well as help grow our engineering department here at WKU.
Now I actually work for the university and oversee research compliance and every field in the university.
The reason I chose technology management for my field of study is because I work for
information technology at Western Kentucky University so that kind
of meet my needs better than what it would have with just a business degree.
I chose the masters of science in technology management degree because it felt like a very it felt
like a very sequential thing to do it compliments my undergraduate degree very well, it goes
hand in hand with exactly what I’ve studied in my undergraduate degree, and I like the
fact that it is actually a little bit more, little bit more specialized than an MBA so
because of that you know it gives me an idea, gives me more of a deeper focus on things
that I am actually going to be using when I get out in the field,
like specifically I am going to go into manufacturing probably
and that way you know I feel like I have something that is unique that I can put on a resume
and say hey look I have got you know specific
classes and specific things that are not just you know finance or just accounting or something like that.
