Program Sheet

The undergraduate program in Technology & Engineering Education K-12 prepares students for teaching Technology & Engineering Education in the elementary grades, junior and senior high schools, and in adult education. The degree is also suitable for students interested in becoming industrial trainers and for vocational teachers who are interested in teaching Technology comprehensively versus a specific occupational skill. The four-year curriculum provides specific training in Technology & Engineering Education as well as in the humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, fine arts, and physical education.

Students must make formal application for admission to the Professional Program of Technology & Engineering Education K-12 after completion of 45 credits in coursework. At least 15 of these credits must be in TC or TE courses. Applications are available from the Dean of Education and Professional Studies, Barnard Hall, and must be filed prior to September 10 and February 10. Acceptance is prerequisite to taking TE 400 , EDSC 375 , EDSC 414 , EDSC 415 , EDF 400 or EDF 415 , EDTE 315 and SPED 315 . Students must maintain a minimum 2.50 grade point average in all technology courses. See School of Education and Professional Studies, Admission to Professional Program for additional information.

It is recommended that all Technology & Engineering Education K-12 Majors applying for Admission to the Teacher Preparation Professional Program carefully review these materials when preparing your Professional Acceptance materials and prior to attending your Professional Acceptance Interview.
