The Bachelor of Arts is an interdisciplinary program which provides the student with an opportunity to develop an individualized course of study in the areas of design, graphic/visual communications design, technology, and industrial and technology education. Under the guidance of a DAI adviser, each student develops a major program including a departmental colloquium; a minimum of 21-22 units of DAI core courses; a 24-unit minimum technology-related area; and support courses. The individual program can be based upon a technical concentration acquired in a community college or an equivalent technical program to be completed during the degree work at San Francisco State University.
Students who are considering teaching Industrial and Technology Education (Industrial Arts) should consult a Design and Industry adviser before planning their majors. Specific courses and a competency assessment are required for admission to the credential program in this area.
The Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Arts with Concentration in Product Design and Development is another option for students who intend to focus their studies in product-oriented design. The 55-unit concentration mainly deals with the proliferation of industrial goods and services which incorporate the study of the nature and processing of materials, marketing, and aesthetics.
The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) is a management-oriented technical curricula built upon a program of studies drawn from the Departments of Design and Industry, Business Analysis and Computing Systems, Mathematics, and Management. The Bachelor of Science prepares students for technical leadership responsibilities with a broad variety for industries including manufacturing, communication, transportation, and utility services. Graduates in the field of industrial technology are prepared to function as technical managers in industry. Preparation in the BSIT requires the student to choose an emphasis in product development and manufacturing technology, graphic communication technology, or electronics technology.
The Bachelor of Vocational Education degree option in the department is governed by Title 5of the California Code of Regulationsand legislation known as the Swan Bill. The BVE curriculum is an individualized program, designed to develop the necessary competencies of a vocational teacher. All components of the program are intended to provide the vocational teacher with the concepts behind organization, management, and evaluation skills necessary to implement and supervise a planned program of vocational education. A sequence of course work is designed by advisement in the student's teaching area of specialization.
The Master of Arts in Industrial Arts offers two programs--one for the industry professional and one for the public school teacher. The two programs have the same general requirements but differ in courses taken and goals pursued. Students with a wide range of backgrounds work with a graduate adviser to design M.A. programs which meet their career goals. The student who already has an interdisciplinary B.A., usually continues deeper into the original B.A. disciplines. The student who enters with a single subject B.A., perhaps from another university, frequently looks toward specific employment and adds course work in a second discipline.
The Minor in Industrial Arts is designed to provide non-major undergraduates with a broad exposure to industry and technology. Students will be able to obtain professional and technical skills needed for entry-level employment in a wide range of industrial occupations.
The department has also maintained a pool of lecture faculty to provide additional strength in many instructional areas. Their experiences and involvement with industry and technology have been valuable assets to the program. Faculty members in the department are constantly participating in short courses, workshops, and conferences to upgrade themselves in the new and changing technologies. Furthermore, faculty is heavily involved with applied technical research and/or design and development activities for the purpose of instructional improvement, technical advancement, and professional contribution.
