The Hoeft Technology and Management Program

The Hoeft Technology & Management (T&M) Program bridges the gap between traditional engineering and business education by offering a unique curriculum to a select group of highly qualified business and engineering undergraduates. The T&M Program is a joint venture between Gies College of Business and The Grainger College of Engineering. Together with its corporate affiliate partners, the Program works to build tomorrow’s leaders of the innovation economy.

The T&M Program recognizes that companies need engineers who understand market forces and the financial implications of technology investment, and they also need business professionals who understand technology drivers and the product development implications of market strategies. The T&M Program prepares business and engineering graduates to function effectively in technical, interdisciplinary, and team-based industry environments.

The T&M Program is a course of study leading to a University of Illinois minor in technology and management. Undergraduate engineering and business majors learn together in an integrated program without sacrificing disciplinary depth in their major fields of study. T&M students must complete all the requirements for their business or engineering degrees in addition to the 22-hour curriculum.
