Technology Engineering Education

Technology is Human Innovation in Action

One of the main goals of Technology Engineering Education in Tennessee is to advance the technological capabilities for all students and to nurture and promote the professionalism of those engaged in these pursuits.  The Tennessee Career and Technical Education Division seeks to meet the professional needs and interests of all teachers as well as to improve public understanding of technology, innovation, design, and engineering education and its contributions.

Our Division represents 324 teachers with more than 104,000 technology engineering education students currently enrolled in courses in grades 5-12 across the great state of Tennessee.  We are offering four new courses at the secondary level leading toward a pre-engineering concentration. 

Technology-Engineering education is an action basedprogram for all students that requires students to use resources to design, produce, use, and assess the impact of products and services that extend human potential to improve and control the natural and human made environment.

Technology Engineering opens the door to discovery and offers a tremendous variety of career options.  It’s a curriculum that can take you from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space, from within the microscopic structures of the human cell to the top of the tallest skyscrapers.

Whether it’s cell phones, digital cameras, DVDs, or facial recognition devices, our curriculum and standards are behind almost all of today’s exciting technology.  We are teaching all our students to be problem solvers who search for quicker, better, and less-expensive ways to use the forces and materials of nature to meet today’s challenges.
