Teacher Certification
Technology and Engineering Education (EDTE) is a four-year program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, which will certify students to teach technology education in the secondary school. Students acquire technical knowledge and skills through creative and problem solving learning experiences related to the designed world. The Technology Education Teacher Certification sequence (based on established state requirements) may be pursued by education majors who also desire certification in Technology Education.
The goal of the Technology and Engineering Education program is to prepare professionals who will qualify for certification to teach technology education at the middle school and high school levels. Emphasis is placed on improving the teaching- learning process and promoting and developing technological literacy, which is the ability to use, manage, understand, and assess technology. Study is focused on technical applications to support classroom and laboratory activities.
