The Journal of Advancing Technology is an academic journal that serves as a forum for substantive discourse across all fields associated with technology theory, development and application. The journal hopes to serve both industry and academic communities, and may even function as a conduit between them.

The first issue of JAT was published in Fall 2004. This inaugural issue contained a bevy of articles-some from outside the University and a few originating from within UAT-on a host of topics relevant to students and practitioners of technology: carrier groups for covert channels, digital citizenship education, techniques for artistically rendering space-filled curves, and even a memoir on the early days of the video game industry.
