Technology Education Initial Certification (BS)

Technology Education leads to certification to teach technology in pre-school settings through Grade 12, and gives you the tools you need to guide tomorrow's students in managing the technological innovations of the future. In our applied technology laboratories, you will be challenged to participate in authentic learning tasks and start solving problems through self-directed inquiry in the design and manufacture of various technological systems. Several field placements in diverse school settings are required.
