A B.S. in Education program designed for those who wish to teach Technology Education in the middle school, junior high or high school. Technology is the study of the human quest for solutions. The impacts of technology on the individual, society and environment are profound. Students study a variety of themes including historical development, problem-solving techniques, design, communication, systems and impacts. Students in the Department of Industry with a teacher education specialty receive a license to teach in technology education programs in Oklahoma schools. Most states recognize teacher candidates from this NCATE nationally accredited institution. Students graduating from the program also take positions in business and industry such as manufacturing design and prototyping, industrial sales, training and development, or become entrepreneurs. Some students choose to pursue this program to prepare for positions in highereducation or government service. Candidates for a teaching certificate must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average in addition to no grade below C in the major field and professional courses, and pass the technology education umbrella and one sub-area examination administered through the Oklahoma Teacher Certification Testing Program before the Oklahoma State Department of Education will issue the appropriate license. After one year of successful teaching under the guidance of the Oklahoma Entry-Year Assistance Program and the favorable recommendation of his/her entry-year assistance committee, the candiate is eligible for a certificate.
