The Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Idaho requests approval to relocate the K-12 Engineering and Technology
Education Endorsement at the College of Southern Idaho (CSI). The Technology and Engineering Education Endorsement includes a series of
courses that provide the student teacher with knowledge and practice in the five core areas of Engineering and Technology Education: construction,
manufacturing, communications, energy and power, and transportation. This program of study is an additional endorsement to our Secondary
certification programs. The following courses below allow students to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions and to gather artifacts
as evidence of competency include the following (with their descriptions)
Technology and Engineering Education Endorsement requirements
This includes a minimum of Twenty (20) semester credit hours in the areas of communication technology, transportation technology, manufacturing
technology, energy and power and construction technology and computer aided drafting and designing. These courses are in addition to foundational
technology courses taken at CSI.
EDUC 105 CAD Engineering and Design 3 crs
Develop skills in engineering graphic communication using freehand sketches and computer aided drawing and designing.
EDUC 108 Introduction to Welding Instruction 2 crs
This course is intended to introduce the basic skills necessary for teaching welding as a secondary educator. Students will learn welding theory and
the techniques needed to properly set up and use SMAW GMAW FCAW & GTAW welding equipment
EDUC 111 Introduction to Manufacturing 3 crs
This course is designed to impart technical knowledge and skills for use of manufacturing equipment and procedures
EDUC 107 Computer Operating Systems 3 crs
This course will provide basic instruction in computers and computer operating systems.
CTE 130 Introduction to Electricity and Electronics (3 cr)
This introduction to electricity and electronics includes properties of resistors, capacitors, and inductors in electrical circuits; basics of power
distribution systems and house wiring; and the use of meters and oscilloscopes in lab. Three 1-hr lec and one 2-hr lab a wk.

essential.
CTE 462 Communication Technology (3 cr)
Investigation and laboratory activities associated with of a variety of communication technologies, including interpersonal, human to
machine and machine to machine, through contemporary devices and materials.
CTE 481 Computer-Integrated and Robotics Manufacturing Technologies (3 cr)
In-depth examination and implementation of advanced computer aided drafting, 3D solids modeling, computer numerical control, basic and
advanced toolpath generation, virtual machining environments, and robotics applications. Enrollment per section limited to lab stations available.
CTE 494 Senior Project (3 cr)
In the last year of study, students select an individual design project related to their area of specialization within technology education. Some
students may have the option of joining a Senior Design Team in the College of Engineering.
