Jim Lentini - Chromalox Quality Engineer

My name is Jim Lentini, and I enrolled in the technology systems: quality and reliability degree at the beginning of 2021. This is one of the best degree programs I have encountered. What I believe sets it apart is that each instructor I had was not only teaching on behalf of Utah State University, but they were current working professionals in the subject they were teaching. Not only was I learning new subject matter, but it was as if I was getting on-the-job training that was applicable to my future career. I was able to meet many people associated with quality engineering in Utah and built a fantastic network as a result. The instructors were also invested in my working career, and they continue to be important contacts and mentors for me. I graduated in December 2021 and accepted a position as a quality engineer with Chromalox in Utah. This program was refreshing and unique, and I would not hesitate to refer someone to this degree program!

Ashton Duke – Current Technology Systems Student

I chose the technology systems product development emphasis because I liked the classes that were required. I felt like this major gave me more valuable knowledge than other majors so I could diversify myself in the job field. My dream career would be to create a cool recreational product and make it into a business. I love the idea of being my own boss and also the accomplishment I imagine myself feeling once I get there. The program can give you some of the most diverse knowledge on campus if you take it seriously. I get to interact with students from other majors while improving my manufacturing, design programs, business, and leadership and communication skills. You get all the things that employers want when you get into the field.
