INDUSTRIAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Requirements for the B.S. Degree (EVT):

General Distribution and Professional Education requirements are listed under Teacher Education Program.

INDUSTRIAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION TRACK:

Enrollment in the Industrial-Technical Education program is restricted to persons with employment experiences qualifying them to teach Industrial, Technical, Health Occupations, or Public Service.

Special provision is made for students to satisfy four (4) of the required six (6) years of work experience in a specific occupation by completing an Associate in Science degree program in a technological specialty or successfully completing an appropriate occupational competency exam.

Acceptability of work experience will be determined by the program advisor.

Students may validate up to 30 semester hours of credit through the Occupational Competency Testing Program, or appropriate licensure or certificate.

Required: 38 semester hours: EVT 4065, EVT 4165, *EIV 4210, EVT 4562, ADE 4384, EVT 4367, EVT 4365, EIV 4360, EVT 4946, EVT 4084

*Another course may be substituted with advisor's approval.

TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION TRACK:

Within the EVT program, students can pursue state certification in Technology Education. In general, students enrolling into the Technology Education program are expected to have successfully completed, at a community college, most of the technical laboratory courses required for Florida Teacher Certification. Teacher certification requires students to have 30 semester hours, with three (3) semester hours in each of the following areas:

(a) materials and processes, (b) drafting and design, (c) energy, (d) graphics, (e) electronics, (f) construction, and (g) industrial systems.

Students entering this program will have their transcripts evaluated to determine if all technical course requirements have been met. If the student has not completed the technical course requirements, the deficiencies may be corrected by enrolling into the required course(s) at a community college. Since this evaluation procedure is unique to the Technology Education Program, the application for admission should clearly indicate the desired major field as Technology Education.

The program of studies includes both course work and extensive field experience in school settings. This is to enable students to integrate theory with teaching practice.

Technology Education students must complete the General Education Requirements of 36 semester hours, the Professional Education Core Requirements of 40-41 semester hours, the Technical Course Requirements of 30 semester hours, and 12 semester hours in Adult and Vocational Education. The requirements in Adult and Vocational Education are as follows:

Required: 23 semester hours including: EVT 4065, EIV 4210, EVT 4165, EIA 3192, EIA 4360, EVT 4365

Plus electives selected with advisor approval.
