Department Chair’s Welcome

I would like to personally welcome you to the Department of Technology Management, an academic unit that has a long history and a diverse offering of technical disciplines. The dedicated faculty and staff provide a learning environment that fosters successful graduates and active alumni. DTM has played a critical role in the formation of the polytechnic focus of this campus. The synergy and scholarship between the different undergraduate and graduate programs in the department is well established and the faculty are nationally recognized for their efforts. 

The Department of Technology Management contributes to the inclusive characteristics of the New American University by pursuing applied research that benefits the public and private sectors, while providing community service and academic offerings that enhance the economic, social, and cultural needs of Arizona. Our student population is diverse and represents both the traditional student as well as the returning adult professional. The curriculum offerings in the department are unique not only in the State of Arizona, but also are not duplicated in the Southwest United States.

Your choice in the selection of a degree from the Department of Technology Management will provide you with an opportunity to join the many successful graduates that participate in global employment and have contributed to the advancement of their companies and profession. While DTM continues to offer traditional classroom instruction, it was one of the first academic units at Arizona State University to offer distant E-Learning courses and degrees. DTM has previously offered complete degree programs on-site at different municipalities in the State of Arizona.

I invite you to seek advisement, pursue your admissions, and enroll in either certificate or degree programs. After graduation, the faculty and I will be available to assist you throughout your career.

Dr. Thomas E. Schildgen
Department Chair/Professor
