Alumi Success Story: Amy Colbert, Plant Manager Hood Packaging

Amy Colbert“When I graduated in 2013 with my undergraduate degree in chemistry, I started as a field engineer for Baker Hughes. I worked in the oil and gas sector for a couple of years, and during a downturn, I decided to further my education to advance my career. I found the ETM program at Tech and decided to get a Black Belt in Six Sigma while obtaining my master’s degree. Although it took a couple of years of aggressive job hunting, I was able to land the career of my dreams in part because of the ETM and the Black Belt in Six Sigma. I was hired as a plant manager immediately and could not be happier with my decision to return to school. The program gave me a massive leg up in the job search and has been extremely beneficial to me as a plant manager. I need to know how to increase quality and productivity efficiently and quickly but in a safe and organized manner, and this degree gave me the skills to build my experience.

“I currently work for Hood Packaging Corporation and am the plant manager of the Monticello site. I manage and coordinate all plant production activities, including engineering maintenance, quality, and safety. I’m also responsible for ensuring production optimization to meet customers’ needs and support the company’s growth. Thank you, Dr. Hegab, for all your generous help and this fantastic Engineering and Technology Management and Six Sigma program.”

Tim McNabb, Engineering Manager

Headshot of Tim McNabb“I found Louisiana Tech’s Engineering and Technology Management Master’s program exciting and challenging and would certainly recommend the program to colleagues. The content was challenging and immediately useful in my day-to-day activities at work. Upon graduation, within weeks, I was promoted to Engineering Manager.  This Master’s Program had a positive, direct impact on my career! Thank you, Louisiana Tech, for the fantastic experience!”

Jason Howell, Engineer and Lecturer of Civil and Industrial Engineering

Headshot of Dr. Jason Howell“The M.S. Engineering and Technology program at Louisiana Tech has given me not only the ability to quantify, analyze, and optimize processes, but it also enabled me to confidently take on the project management and financial responsibilities associated with engineering design and construction,” program alumnus Jason Howell said. “I could enroll concurrently in an MBA program and complete both degrees while working full-time. I never missed a day of work.

“My professors were available anytime I had a question. I never felt isolated. The classroom forums made thinking through problems with other students both easy and expected. The skills I have gained as a result of this program have meaningfully impacted my performance at my current job. I am very glad that I chose to invest my time in the Engineering and Technology program at Louisiana Tech.”

Michael D. Nettles, Utilities Manufacturing Excellence Leader, Sylvamo

Headshot of Mike Nettles“Overall, my experience with the ETM program has been extremely positive. The professors were very accessible and helpful. The online program is well-suited for students working full-time. I have gained many useful insights for applying Lean-Six Sigma tools in my current job, and the Black Belt certification is a plus.”

What Is the Quarter System?

Louisiana Tech is one of the few Universities that uses the quarter system. This means that instead of two semesters and a summer session, the year is broken up into 4 quarters: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer quarters. The academic calendars for Louisiana Tech can be found here. It is important to note that the quarter system changes the typical course hour load for a full-time student. For example, a graduate student is considered a full-time student when enrolled in 6-course credit course hours.

What Are the Registration and Tuition Payment Deadlines?

Registration dates vary quarter to quarter and can be viewed here.

Payment deadlines change each quarter as well and can be viewed here.
