The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers.  Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.

The BS in Engineering Technology - Concentration in Safety Management is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:

  • Locate and interpret federal and state standards and regulations related to occupational safety.

  • Distinguish professional, ethical, and social responsibilities.

  • Obtain continuous learning skills through applied industry experiences, safety case studies, and past incident records.

  • Demonstrate safety leadership skills, teamwork, and effective communication skills.

  • Lead safety cultures and regulation compliance.
