The HCT Logistics Engineering Technology program aims to produce high-quality engineers with qualities of productivity, timeliness, dedication, and competence in the workplace. Graduates are expected to have the ability to work logically, accurately and efficiently; to gather and use information effectively; and to continue enhancing their careers through lifelong learning. Moreover, the program is designed to prepare interested students for graduate studies in logistics engineering technology and other areas of professional practice. To this end, Logistics Engineering Technology students are trained to support the analysis, design, development and improvement of logistics systems in the manufacturing and service arenas.

The Bachelor of Logistics Engineering Technology curriculum stresses the effective use of technology, information resources and engineering tools; students are trained to use state of the art software packages necessary to facilitate their efforts to analyze and optimize existing systems, and to test and validate potential gains attainable from improving the system. In addition, the program instills leadership qualities based on moral and ethical principles coupled with sound and rational judgment.

Students are eligible for a one year Work Experiential Learning experience during their study.

Program Goals

  1. Provide logistics professionals with the technical knowledge and skills required by the industry to highest level of standards.
  2. Prepare graduates for a successful career as effective decision makers with strong communication and teamwork skills and an understanding of the global, ethical and social implications of engineering profession.
  3. Teach graduates strong commitment to lifelong learning, continuing education, and professional growth.
  4. Instill graduates with leadership qualities and commitment to contribute actively to their profession.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon graduation, a HCT graduate in Bachelor of Logistics Engineering Technology should demonstrate an ability to:

  1. Apply knowledge, methods, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to Logistics Engineering Technology.

  2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to Logistics Engineering Technology.

  3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments, and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.

  4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.

  5. Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

  6. Develop and evaluate a business plan to transform an engineering design (systems, products, services and solutions) into a business opportunity utilizing entrepreneurial skills and knowledge.
