Technology Education Overview - Preparation - Day In The Life - Earnings -
Employment - Career Path Forecast - Professional Organizations


Technology education has gone under many changes since its first introduction into the American school systems. It is no longer just the industrial arts, but now it is construction, medicine, and computers. As the technology in our society becomes more complicated and advanced, we need teachers to educate the leaders and innovators of tomorrow on the inventions of today.

Technology education allows learners to explore a variety of activities related to many areas of human endeavor. Learners can develop problem solving strategies and work habits that will be useful in almost any career and or occupation. Learners should develop a greater appreciation for the labor of craft workers and the skill required of that occupation.

Within the scope of this educational program is the effort to develop "soft skills" in the learner, as well as an opportunity for the learner to see how systems work together and the chance to put much of the academic class instruction to work in an applied way.
