General Technology: Technology Systems emphasis - AAS
|
A degree in Technology and Engineering Education with an emphasis in Skilled and Technical Sciences Education is designed to prepare students for teaching Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses in the Skilled and Technical Sciences content areas at the high school level. Students in this emphasis area complete their degree in three phases. First, students will complete an approved certificate program within the Utah Technical College system to gain content-area expertise in their chosen discipline. Students seeking to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree in Technology & Engineering Education should ensure that their chosen technical certificate/coursework aligns with a specific endorsement area. Second, students complete 33 additional credits to earn their Associate of Applied Sciences degree in General Technology, with an emphasis in Technology Systems. Finally, students will prepare to apply and teach technical skills in their chosen discipline in a classroom setting by completing coursework in teaching methods, assessment/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.
