Suggested Order of Study
  BSE Middle School Education Grades 5-9 Certification in Industrial Technology
  Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology Grades 9-12 Certification
  BSE Secondary Education (9-12) Industrial Technology Emphasis

Degree Requirements

The Industrial Technology Education degree has certifications for both middle school (grades 5-9) and Secondary (grades 9-12). The middle school certification in Industrial Technology is one of two areas of concentration that a student may select from to complete their education degree. The student who desires to teach in a secondary school will have a single teaching field.

Technology education is an applied discipline designed to promote technological literacy at all levels. It is the intent of such study to provide students with an understanding of their technological culture so they can become intelligent consumers of their technology. Therefore, the program is designed to produce individuals who can solve problems involving the technical means humans' use for their survival. Technology education capitalizes on the needs humans have for expressing themselves with tools and materials.

Technology literacy is considered a basic and fundamental study for all persons regardless of educational or career goals. As a result of these goals, the discipline is both academic and laboratory oriented.
