Technology is the application of science to achieve work goals.  Whether it is a lever moving the lid of a huge soup kettle (a feed-forward food processing plant) or a molecular layer of silver being drawn and adhering to an eating utensil, technology is there, doing the work.  In mining it is technology that blows the high wall so that the ore will collapse into the drag pit for the front-end loaders to load into huge dump trucks taking the ore to the crushing operation. 

On the farm massive tractors now gather the produce that is either processed for food or for some other commodity.  Technology makes the tractor run, the conveyor system move, the trucks to be loaded, the wheels to turn and the forklift to unload the truck at your grocer. 

Technology is the common thread that weaves all industry together.  Those societies that choose not to advance technologically, perish.  They may linger a long death.  But they perish. 

At Texas A&M University - Kingsville we are preparing men and women to understand and utilize the most advanced technologies in the most advanced society on the face of the earth.  We want to talk to you about being one of our students.  We have students who enroll straight out of high school and many others who come to us from industry or business when they realize they need advanced skills to gain useful employment.  We want to help you obtain that goal.  Our graduates are prepared to earn a good living for their entire lives. 

Telephone or e-mail Dr. Richard Braley.  I would love to talk to you in person but please telephone first to schedule a time when I will be here, waiting for you to arrive.
