Technology Education
College of Education
Technology Education is an integrated discipline designed to develop technological literacy as
part of all students' fundamental education. Through the study of past, present, and future
technological systems, and their resources, processes, and impacts on society students will better
understand the role of technology in society.
The Technology Education Program at MSU is for individuals wishing to teach technology at the
middle or high school level or work within industry where a broad understanding of technological
concepts is important.
Two technology education options are available to allow for diversity in personal interests and
career aspirations. The Broadfield Teaching Option is designed for in-depth study of Technology
Education. The Industrial Technology Option is tailored for those individuals who are pursuing
a career in industry which requires a broad background in technology plus an understanding of the
social impacts of decisions regarding technology.
The Technology Education Program is sequenced into three phases to develop a progression of
inter-related information. The foundation phase constitutes the introduction to technology. This
introduction forms the base for future study and an understanding of basic technological concepts.
The synthesis phase begins the in-depth study of the primary technology education components of
communication, construction, manufacturing, and power/energy. During this phase students in the
teaching option are involved in professional education course work and students in the industrial
technology option begin selecting course work which is tailored to meet specific career goals.
The capstone phase of the program is structure to integrate the information and experiences of the preceding phases through applied learning activities.
Students in the teaching option teach at the middle/high school level. Students in
the non-teaching option intern in business and/or industry areas related to their career interests.
