The Technology Education program is designed
to prepare students for a teaching career in secondary schools.
The transformation to technology education continues to provide
all students with basic knowledge and skills needed for the
next millennium. Students are prepared to teach in the following
areas: communication, construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
Technology Education is a hands-on program using an investigative,
design-and-construct, problem solving approach to teaching.
Students study the resources, systems, and products of technology.
The curriculum is designed to allow students to teach in a
laboratory setting using modern technological tools. The Technology
Education program is accredited by the National Council for
the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Indiana
Professional Standards Board (IPSB). There is a very high
demand for Technology Education teachers nationwide; Indiana
has reciprocal licensing agreements with 40 states, giving
Technology Education graduates teaching opportunities across
the country. Opportunities abound for students considering
a Technology Education teaching career.
