Job Placement
 
Salaries & Advancement:
Salaries for Industrial Systems & Engineering Technology graduates can vary widely, depending upon location, employer and experience. The 2008-2009 edition of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates average hourly wages for industrial machinery mechanics and maintenance workers ranged from $16.61 and $19.74. In three to five years, many graduates advance to higher positions as team leaders or supervisors with substantial pay increases and other benefits.
 
The Technical Advantage:
As a student in ISE, you will use many types of equipment and software to gain the competitive edge. These may include:
  • Specialized instruments such as vibration analyzers, ultrasonic and laser alignment systems;
  • Electrical equipment such as digital multi-meters and programmable logic controllers;
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic test devices;
  • Refrigeration pressure and temperature gauges;
  • Welding test equipment; and
  • Hydraulic and maintenance software.
Technicians in Demand:
As industrial automation continues to grow, so does the need for technicians who can optimize the capacity of today's modern manufacturing facilities. That need leads to greater demand for Industrial Systems graduates who find career opportunities throughout Texas and the United States — any place with manufacturing facilities and physical plant operations — from small communities to metropolitan areas.
 
Professional Associations:
TSTC maintains close ties with established professionals like those found in organizations such as the International Maintenance Institute and the Fluid Power Society, or FPS – the industry contacts that provide peer support and involvement to enhance your career.
