Career Pathways Technology Education Career Pathways are generally organized under one of four main areas of study, with multiple pathways for each area. Information Technology provides students experience using various methods that humans use to communicate technologically. Included is Computer Aided Design, Animation, Desktop Publishing, and Graphic Communications. Materials Technology focuses upon the world of materials, their physical and chemical properties, and how they are processed and machined in industry. Study and experiences with all materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites and chemicals are included in this pathway.
Biotechnology represents the fastest growing area of employment growth for the future.
From understanding bio-processes to engineering environmental systems, there is extensive growth in biotechnology careers. Energy and Control Technology represents an evolution of older courses in alternative energy, electronics, mechanics, robotics, etc. Due to technological advancements, these areas have merged to form complex systems which often interface with microprocessors, thus the focus of this pathway is systems control. Interior Design and Furnishing Maintenance . Plant Science which includes courses related to plant life cultivation, maintenance, production, and distribution.
