Randomly administered alumni survey
Capstone course
Note: Industrial education students are required to have documented evidence of 2,000 clock hours of work experience for the occupation-based career and technical education track, and 1,000 clock hours of work experience for engineering and technology track. This work experience is to be directly related to their teaching areas. If this requirement has not been met prior to entering this degree program, it can be fulfilled by IET 398: Supervised Work Experience, for three credit hours.
Engineering and Technology: Technical Track 1
Students are required to obtain a grade of "C" in all technical and supplemental courses.
The student must complete the departmental and University general education requirements and a minimum of 39 semester hours of industrial education core requirements.
