Program Description
The Technology Education (TE) program at Montana State University is a multi-disciplinary program of study designed to develop technological literacy through the study of past, present, and future technological systems and their impacts on society. Program content is influenced by the Standards for Technological Literacy, as published by the International Technology and Engineering Education Association (2007). The TE Broadfield Teaching option is designed for individuals wishing to teach Technology Education at the junior high or high school level.
