Technology and Engineering Education Major

A degree in Technology and Engineering Education prepares students to become qualified instructors who can help students develop the technological literacy and technical skills that are increasingly necessary in our changing world. The ever-increasing rate of technological development and the impacts of globalization have created a strong demand for individuals who are technologically literate, skilled, innovative, and capable of working in teams. The world looks toward specialized educators to meet this demand.

A degree in Technology and Engineering Education with an emphasis in Technology and Engineering Education is designed to prepare students for careers in teaching Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses in the area of Technology and Engineering at the middle school and high school levels. Students in Technology & Engineering Education will develop their ability to use technological tools, processes, and systems safely and effectively in a laboratory setting by taking classes engaging them in multiple technological contexts. Students will prepare to apply these skills and teach technological literacy in a classroom setting by completing coursework in teaching methods, assessment and evaluation, teaching and learning theory, and classroom/lab management. Students will be exposed to extensive practical classroom experience through in-class role-playing, clinical experience, and student teaching. Students will also be required to complete leadership and professional development activities as part of the degree requirements.

Students choosing this major must be admitted to and complete the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) administered by the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services to complete their degree. For admission to STEP, students must have an overall GPA of 3.0, have earned a grade of C+ or better in ENGL 1010  or ENGL 2010 , have earned a grade of C or better in at least three general education breadth courses, and have completed a background check

Advising: Appointments can be made at caas.usu.edu/advising or by calling (435) 797-2282.

Please note that all Foundation and Required Core Courses must be passed with the following: ENGL 1010  or ENGL 2010  must pass one with a grade of C+ or better. Breadth Courses need a minimum a grade of C or better. All STEP courses must be passed with a grade of C or better.
