Program Description
The Technology & Engineering Education program is a teacher training program for individuals seeking Pennsylvania State Certification in Technology Education (K-12). Students are broadly prepared in general education, technology and engineering, and professional teacher education. Technical emphasis is on design, bio-related, communication, energy and power, transportation and production technologies. Students may specialize in a technical area of their choice or opt for a concentration in engineering design. The undergraduate Technology Education Teacher Preparation Program is designed for students coming from high school, or students who have been working in another field. The undergraduate degree is a traditional four-year program, with one full semester devoted to a professional experience in a local K-12 setting. The Master of Science in Technology and Innovation degree program provides opportunities for continued professional growth of technology and engineering teachers. Courses are required in creativity, engineering principles and concepts, and critical thinking and decision making. The Department also offers a post-baccalaureate-certification program for individuals seeking to become technology and engineering teachers. This program has been nationally recognized by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) and the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
