Industrial Education Area – Bachelor of Science

Program Competencies

Upon completion of the program, the new teacher (student) will be able to:

  1. Teach technology courses in one of the following areas: mechanical/manufacturing technology, construction management/civil engineering technology, electronic/computer technology.
  2. Demonstrate competence in Kentucky's new teacher standards.
  3. Apply new teacher standards in 5-12 technology education or secondary or postsecondary occupational based programs.

Assessment

  1. Exit Examinations
  2. Survey of graduating students
  3. Randomly administered alumni survey
  4. 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 ETM 398: Supervised Work Experience, for three credit hours.

Engineering and Technology: Technical Track 1
