The TET major provides graduates with the education necessary for employment in educational settings related to applied technology in secondary and post-secondary schools, and in industry. Through courses in educational techniques, manufacturing processes and methods and materials in technology education, the major focuses on issues related to the development of efficient teaching strategies in educational and industrial settings.
Students also study the impact of individual learning styles upon teaching methods.

One third are employed in a variety of industrial positions. The Office of Equal Opportunity is located in Room 101, Student Services.
