About the Program
Every day, people with specialized knowledge share that knowledge with others, as teachers, trainers, consultants and more. With a national push to increase interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), you can help spread your knowledge too. By reaching students in middle school and high school, you will become a important part of the STEM education pipeline, providing inspiration to future STEM professionals as they are developing.
The Engineering/Technology Teacher Education major is part of the Technology Education program. The Technology Education program is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP), www.caepnet.org.

Notes
● 3.0 Professional Education GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree, with at least a C- or higher. * 2.5 Content GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree. 2.5 Graduation GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree. Students must fulfill all Teacher Education Requirements 8. (See Supplemental Information) 32 credits of upper division courses (30000 level or higher) must be taken at Purdue University, West Lafayette. ANY COURSE TAKEN AT PURDUE CAN BE ATTEMPTED NO MORE THAN THREE TIMES (INCLUSIVE OF W, WF, I AND IF). Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical.
In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program”.
Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements.
