The Institute of Industrial Tech (IIT) is a pioneering effort in the field of applied education. The IIT's main goal is to provide an unparalleled educational opportunity not offered in the conventional classroom setting. The IIT provides students with the opportunity to apply the theories and concepts they learn in a variety of fields to a true-to-life business enterprise.

The IIT is comprised of two main branches: service and product manufacture. The main goal, in respect to our service branch, is to provide our customers with quality service and products at an affordable price. In respect to product manufacturing, the goal is to build an innovative product mix satisfying the needs of our students.

In our efforts to meet the needs of the students involved, the IIT does not lose sight of our promise to support Humboldt State University and the community alike. We strive to provide our goods and services without competing against local businesses or contractors.

The Institute is part of the Industrial Technology Department and works with the faculty to achieve the highest standard of quality possible.
