Mission Produce citizens that have the technological knowledge and ability to design, develop, and produce products that harmonize with society and the natural world.

Technology is the underlying force, which defines our culture.
It encompasses all aspects of our lives from the essential survival elements to high-tech defense. If we as citizens do not understand the history and impacts of technology, we can neither control the power of technology nor predict consequences of the technology that we have created. In essence, we must recognize how to control technology, or technology will control us. The goal of education is to prepare students to live and function in society. This includes studying all aspects of our culture from the fine arts to technology.
