Technology Education
What Can I Do In My Major?
Background
Technology education is a school subject that teaches students K-12 how to be technologically literate. We live in a world where technological literacy is as important as other types of literacy. Just as we need to be taught how to read, write, or calculate, we need to have a formal structure that focuses on technological literacy. In technology education, students use a wide range of materials, tools and equipment (including computer technologies) to learn about the human-made environment. Technology education uses an investigative, hands-on, research and design approach to help students better understand the world around them. Graduates of the Technology Education program are in extremely high demand, both here in North Carolina and across the nation.
