TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION replaces what many of us remember as Industrial Arts (“shop”) with logical sequences of courses (pathways) related to a wide range of careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).  It is not to be confused with the study and application of computer-based skills, like word processing, spreadsheet applications, and multi-media presentations, which are taught within the business education career pathways. 

You should consider Technology Education if you have a college degree (or 30 college credits) in areas like engineering (architectural, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical), industrial technology, or industrial design; for communication technology, in areas like graphic design, digital media, broadcasting, radio/TV production, architecture, engineering design, CAD, or computer & information sciences; and for physical technology, in areas like power & energy, transportation, materials processing, construction and manufacturing.
