  1. ETS Advisory BoardWelcome to theDepartment of Environmental and Technological Studies (ETS) ETS DEPARTMENT VISION Linking the Natural and Human Made World

  2. Department of Environmental and Technological Studies (ETS) ETS ProvidesCurriculum for Students Interested In: • Careers in business, industry, or technology; • Teaching technology in middle or high school; • The physical and technological world around us; and • The environment.

  3. Missionof Environmental andTechnological Studies (ETS) • Foster technological literacy • Integrate science, technology, society and the environment • Encourage research and assessment of: • Environmental problems • Technological problems

  4. Mission of Environmental and Technological Studies (ETS) • Study of environmental problems resulting from technological development of human interaction, such as pollution control, policy and regulatory issues, mediation/abatement, and waste management. • Study of technological problems and the implementation of technology to meet human needs, such as product design, production systems, energy conservation and efficiency, resource management, and sustainable development.

  5. Majors in Environmental and Technological Studies (ETS) • Major in Technology Education • Nationally Accredited by ITEA/CTTE/NCATE • Major in Technology Assessment and Management • Applying for Accreditation with NAIT in 2004 • Major in Environmental Studies

  6. ETS Program of Study • Student take courses in the following areas:: • Departmental Core Courses • Major Core Courses • Technical Electives • Communications • Construction • Manufacturing • Transportation • Energy • Environment

  7. ETS Departmental Core Courses Courses taken by all majors in the department: • -Introduction to ETS • -Communications Technology • -Production Technology • -Transportation/Energy Technology • -Resource Management • -Environmental & Technological Assessment • -Introduction to Environmental Studies • -Senior Project

  9. Environmental & Technological Studies Technology Education Major

  10. Major in Technology Education • Middle School Technology Teacher • High School Technology Teacher • Community College Technology Teacher • Technical College Technology Teacher • Technology Trainer in Industry and Business • Presently, there are approximately 3-4 teaching positions available for every graduate. • Signing bonuses and loan forgiveness programs are often available.

  11. What is a Technology Teacher? Ateacher that teaches: • -Action-based activities. • -Hands-on, investigative, design/construct, and problem solving activities. • -In laboratories equipped with modern technological tools, devices, computers, modules, and simulators. • -About… -Communication-the exchange of information -Manufacturing-the production of goods -Construction-the fabrication of structures -Transportation/energy-the movement of objects or forces - Environmental Issues-effects of technology and society

  12. What Does a Technology Teacher Teach? For example, a technology teacher helps students learn how to: • Build and test a solar collector; • Produce a television commercial using videotapes; • Plan and develop an enterprise to produce a product; • Design, build, wire, program & operate a small robot; • Construct a high efficiency vehicle; and • Assess the impacts of technology on the environment.

  13. National Standards The Standards for Technological Literacy & Advancing Excellence in Technological Literacyhave been developed with close cooperation with science, mathematics, & engineering, with support from the NSF and NASA.

  14. Major Core Requirements Engineering Communications Technology Education Curriculum Residential Construction Manufacturing Processes Instructional Strategies Electronics Technology Focus Areas: • 9 credits of "Technical Electives".
