Each course of study is prepared based on individual background, interests, and needs. Course work in the College of Technology emphasizes skills in needs analysis, instructional design, instructional strategies, presentation graphics, evaluation, cost benefit analysis, and adult learning and motivation. These are blended with course selections from other University program offerings such as technical communication, industrial psychology, human resource management, education, and organization development.
Many courses involve projects in a business or industry setting.
The program also allows for technical upgrading related to the subject being taught. An emphasis can also be developed in the area of administration, supervision, or evaluation and research. A bachelor's degree in education or a related technical or professional area is required. If the graduate coordinator determines deficiencies in a student's background, additional undergraduate or graduate work will be prescribed.
