Within the EVT program, students can pursue state certification in Technology Education.

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 in 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, Prerequisites of 24 semester hours, the Professional Education Core Requirements of 25-30 semester hours, the Technical Course Requirements of 30 semester hours, and 19 semester hours in Adult and Vocational Education.
