UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
These curricula lead to degrees of Associate of Applied Science in Technology, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Science in Technology, and are designed to prepare individuals for employment in education and industry. Graduates in technology education may be certified for teaching in middle schools, junior high schools, and/or high schools. Graduates of the technology programs find employment in administrative or supervisory positions in industrial organizations and assume responsibilities in areas of product development, manufacturing, sales and distribution, training or in teaching. They have the practical skills, technical knowledge, and organizational competence required of mid-level management personnel.
TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The curriculum leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in technology education. The student needs to follow Options I, II or III and complete: (1) the thirty-seven hour technology education core, (2) technical sequence courses, and (3) meet the teacher education and general education requirements for a teaching certificate. A minimum of thirty hours of technology education course work needs to be completed at Pittsburg State University. Students in technology education can take any course in the School of Technology for which they have the necessary prerequisites. Technology education majors must apply to the School of Education, Room 115 Hughes Hall, for admission to teacher education during the second semester of their sophomore year. Students transferring in as juniors must apply during their first semester on campus. Refer to the Teacher Education section of this University Catalog for criteria for admission to teacher education and to the professional semester.
Bachelor of Science in Education with a
Major in Technology Education Option I: Major with a Minor
Requirements for this option consist of a technology education major and any minor recognized by the university. The major includes (1) the thirty-seven hour technology education core, and (2) an additional twelve-hour sequence necessary for certification in either production systems technology, communication systems technology, or power/energy/transportation systems technology. Students may select courses that lead to additional endorsements in technical specialization sequences (nine hours each). A minimum of 49 semester hours in the major is required. The minor may be chosen with advisor approval from any of those listed in the University Catalog.
Option II. Broad-Based Exploratory. Middle School Teaching. Students who wish to receive a middle school endorsement and specialize in teaching technology education at the middle school level will take: (1) the thirty-seven hour technology education core, (2) six additional hours in each of the three technology systems sequences as recommended by the advisor, and (3) TST 450 Explorations in Technology.
Option III. Technology Systems Specialization. Secondary School Teaching. Students who wish to specialize in one or more technology systems certification areas of technology education will take: (1) the thirty-seven hour technology education core, (2) two additional sequences necessary for certification in two technology systems sequences--production systems technology, communication systems technology, or power/energy/
transportation systems technology.

Master of Science with a Major in Technology
The Master of Science degree with a major in technology provides advanced instruction in technical, scientific, managerial and supervisory areas for those working in technical and management positions in business and industry. Graduate faculty for the program are from the Department of Engineering Technology, the Department of Printing, and the Department of Technology Studies.
Candidates for this degree must meet the requirements for Option I or Option II as described on pages 58 and 59 of this catalog. The degree requires completion of 9 to 12 credit hours of emphasis area/elective courses (depending on Option I or Option II) and 21 credit hours of core courses. Other aspects of the curriculum are determined by individual needs in consultation with the student's advisor. Areas of interest in which the student may gain additional strength include product design and development, manufacturing and production, sales and distribution, maintenance and service, or a technical area within the curricula of the Department of Engineering Technology, the Department of Printing, and/or the Department of Technology Studies.
Admission to the graduate program requires undergraduate major in technology or equivalent. Students with degrees in business, industrial education, the sciences, engineering, and other areas are considered for admission. However, transcripts are evaluated and certain foundation courses may be required to be completed as prerequisites to the core courses. Opportunity is also provided for technology majors to pursue a college teaching program. Those entering this program must apply at the Graduate Office for special admission. Details of the program are found under the Department of Special Services and Administrative Studies section of this catalog. The major is listed as community college teaching (technology).
