FACULTY: Moore,
Muns, Taylor
The courses offered in the Department of Technology are
designed to serve the following purposes: (1) to prepare the
student to teach technology and education in the public schools;
(2) to assist the student in selecting a career to follow
in industry and to provide basic instruction and preparation
in several phases of industry; and (3) to provide an opportunity
for the student majoring in another department to supplement
work in his/her chosen field.
No minor is required, but if an additional teaching field
is desired, the student must meet the requirements of that
teaching field. For the degree of Bachelor of Science and
a teaching certificate with an integrated teaching field in
technology, the student must complete a minimum of 48 semester
hours in Industrial Technology and 18 semester hours in Professional
Education. The courses listed above are required of all students
who are majoring in Industrial Technology and seeking a teaching
certificate.
The student should refer to the Certification section of
this catalogue or obtain information in Room 213 of the Teacher
Education Center.
The Department of Technology is approved to offer vocational
trades and industry certification courses. These courses may
be applied toward certification or a Bachelor of Science degree.
Students may enroll in the State required courses as either
