Technological Systems Management (TSM) Major and Minor in Technological Systems Management Department of Technology and Society, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences Chair: Wolf Schäfer Undergraduate Program Director: Kevin Moriarty Advisor: Rita Reagan-Redko Office: 1425 Computer Science Phone: (631) 632-1057 Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Website: http://www.stonybrook.edu/est

Technological Systems Management (TSM) The Department of Technology and Society offers the major in Technological Systems Management leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The program integrates a foundation in the natural sciences, engineering, applied sciences, or environmental studies with applications in technology systems, assessment, and management. The Department also offers a minor in Technological Systems Management. The major prepares students for careers in government, industry, or education in positions such as manager of computer network systems, manager of information systems, quality specialist, systems or environmental analyst, technical sales representative, or technology trainer/ educator-in short, all professions and ventures that are dependent on technological applications and implementation and in which is key to success. Students are also prepared for advanced study in areas such as business, law, education, policy analysis, and industrial or environmental management. The Department's focus is on technological advances that shape every facet of modern life. Students develop understanding of the characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of current and emerging technologies. Successful practices in government, industry, education, and personal life depend on such understanding. The Department applies engineering concepts that underlie technological change and that form the bridge from engineering to other disciplines. In this multidisciplinary approach, the Department provides one of the vehicles by which Stony Brook interacts with other universities and colleges, pre-college institutions, professional schools, government, and industry. Effective management of modern technologies requires use of tools from many domains: science and engineering, information technologies, , legal and regulatory practice, psychology and sociology, design and assessment. Requirements for the Major and Minor in Technological Systems Management (TSM) Acceptance into the Major in Technological Systems Management Qualified freshman and transfer students who have indicated their interest in the major on their applications may be admitted directly as a degree major or as a pre-major. Pre-majors are placed into the Area of Interest (AOI) program and to be eligible for the degree, they must be admitted to and declare the major. The requirements and application process for matriculation are detailed below. Students admitted to other programs within the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) follow the same admissions process as students in the AOI program. Students in programs outside of CEAS (non-CEAS students) and double major applicants may apply for admission to the degree program following a separate process, outlined below. Area of Interest and Other CEAS Students (excluding double major applicants) Applications for major admission from AOI and other CEAS students are reviewed twice per year and must be received by January 5 for Spring admission and June 5 for Fall admission. Students who submit their application on time will be admitted if they meet the following requirements: • Completed AMS 161 and the second course in a natural sciences sequence, or their equivalents; • Earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.50; • Received completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements for the major. Students must complete these requirements no later than one year after they enroll in the first course that applies towards major entry. Students must apply for admission by the application deadline immediately following completion of the above requirements, but no later than the one year limit. Admission of AOI students and other CEAS students who apply late will follow the process of Non-CEAS Students and Double Major Applicants below. Non-CEAS Students and Double Major Applicants Applications for major admission from non-CEAS students and double major applicants are reviewed twice per year and must be received by January 5 for Spring admission and June 5 for Fall admission. Students who do not meet the requirements for AOI admission above will not be considered. Fulfilling the requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Admission is competitive and contingent upon program capacity. Requirements for the Major in Technological Systems Management (TSM)
