Technology Engineering Education

Technology is Human Innovation in Action

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

Technology-Engineering education is an action based, hands-on program 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.

Our Mission

To help student lean to appropriately use, manage, apply and assess technology to effectively make decisions and contributions to a rapidly changing technological society.

Our Vision

To provide leadership, service and connections to help prepare all Tennessee teachers and students towards becoming technologically literate citizens.
