Electives chosen in Industrial Technology (choose from construction,
energy and power, or transportation)……(3 SH)
This minor provides the necessary coursework for any secondary
teaching major outside of Technology Education to obtain a teaching
endorsement in this field, and also provides a minor for those interested in industrial technology.
Note: If a coaching endorsement is desired, refer to the Coaching
Minor Requirements.
The Technology Education program offered through the Department of
Industrial Technology prepares students to teach Technology Education
and/or Industrial Technology at the secondary level (middle school,
junior high, and high school) in Iowa as well as other places around the
country. Technological literacy is a major focus of the program—that is,
to know the nature of technology and its effects on society, experience
problem solving through engineering design, innovation, and practical
abilities for living in a technological world. Students also learn to integrate science, engineering, and mathematics into technology by taking
courses in the development, production, use, and assessment of technological systems. These include construction, communication, energy
and power, manufacturing, and transportation. Pre-service teachers can
choose an emphasis among these technological systems. The program
also includes exploration of careers associated with these broad areas.
Technology teacher candidates learn to plan their curriculum, apply
suitable teaching strategies and methods, and manage both traditional
and contemporary instructional laboratories.
When you successfully complete this degree, with secondary school
teacher licensure courses offered through the College of Education, and
major core and professional courses through the College of Natural
Sciences, you can receive an Iowa teacher license in Industrial Technology. There is a critical need for technology teachers across the nation.
In Iowa, UNI is the only Regents institution that offers a technology
teacher preparation program at the undergraduate level.
Why is Technology Education Important?
Technological change occurs at an increasingly rapid pace, drives much
of the change in society, and is an important element in global competitiveness. Given its importance, it is critical that everyone understand this
increasingly technological world. Students need this understanding so
they can make appropriate career choices and be citizens who will make
good decisions regarding the technology that surrounds them, whether in
the voting booth, work, or home. In short, Technology Education provides technological literacy, and this is a valuable “basic” for all students.
Will I Get a Job?
There is a shortage of technology teachers in Iowa and nationwide, so
students who do well in this program have little or no trouble finding
jobs after graduation, whether they choose to live in Iowa or anywhere
in the nation. Also, the program provides many of the necessary courses
for those who wish to teach career and technical courses at community
colleges as well as other two-year schools that have programs related to
technology.
