F - 1 cr. (Lecture/Lab)
This
class provides an introduction to Technology Education. Throughout the
semester a deeper understanding of the Technology Education curriculum
will be established. The rationale, principles, and philosophy of
Technology Education will also be covered. This class centers around
problem solving and includes activities such as building a SAE (Society
of Automotive Eng.) car, construction of a spaghetti tower, and writing
a paper about technology. This course focuses on what technology
education is about and distinguishes it from the industrial arts.
DDSN 114 - 2-D Computer-Aided Drafting
S - 3 cr. (Lecture 1, Lab 2)
Provides
the learner with an understanding of two-dimensional computer-aided
drafting. Students explore and create two dimensional drawings with the
aid of AutoCAD software (made by Auto desk). Drawings focus on
architecture, mechanical and civil engineering applications.
F, S alternate years, to be offered 2012 - 4 crs. (Lecture 2, Lab 2)
Exploration of technical competencies using tools and equipment common
to wood, metal and composite materials related to industrial usage and
engineering applications.
TE 250 - Technology and Society
F, S, Su- 3 crs. (Lecture 3)
Throughout
the semester the major technological periods and inventions throughout
history are covered. Innovations that have altered the course of
humanity will also be discussed. During the semester there are debates
held on various topics, such as hydrogen cells and drilling the ANWR
basin. Discussion and participation are a huge part of this class. At
the end of this course students re-write history by taking a technology
that was created and removing it from history.

communication systems and sub-systems including audio/video production
and web-based applications.
TE 353 - Teaching Practices
F - 1 crs. (Lab 1) Corequisite: EDU 497
This
is an activity based course where students participate in teaching
activities, from the design to the delivery of the lesson. Students
have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their methods
course in micro-teaching experiences. In Micro teaching students
present lessons plans to their peers that are 15-20 minutes in length.
They also discuss current trends in the teaching profession as they
specifically relate to technology education.
TE 406 - Curriculum & Facilities Planning
F - 3 crs. (Lecture 3) Prerequisite: Acceptance in Teacher Education program, junior standing.
Experiences
in this course are designed around the planning of curriculum models
and facilities for Technology Education and Agricultural Education.
Curriculum models include: course descriptions, scope and sequence (how
and when it is delivered), etc. Activities include developing surveys,
assessing curricula, calculating budgets for equipment and materials,
and creating floor plans for agriculture education and technology
education facilities. Also look at current models that exist and
discuss how those curricula and facilities can be adapted to meet
changing curricula in agriculture education and technology education.
F - 4 crs. (Lecture 2, Lab 2)
Prerequisites: TE 230, TE 207
