Engineering as an endorsement added to a Teaching License Engineering (1) Completion of 24 semester hours in engineering coursework (2) Methods and strategies of STEM instruction OR methods of teaching science or math. Engineering as a Career and Technical License (1)Completion of a baccalaureate degree in engineering. (2)Demonstrated career and technical competence in engineering by completion of a minimum of 4,000 hours of practical, hands-on experience in engineering. (3)Coursework in foundations of career and technical education, planning and implementing courses and curriculum, methods and strategies of STEM instruction, and assessment of STEM programs and students.
