Technology - STEM Education and Leadership
Overview
The Technology Education program prepares graduates to advance as technology education teachers in the public secondary schools.
The Technology Education sequence is not a teacher certification program. Certified teachers pursue the degree for professional development. Non-certified students also may pursue the master's in conjunction with other courses required for teacher certification.
Point of Pride
Department of Technology graduate students often present their team class projects at the annual University Research Symposium, hosted by the Graduate School.
