Technology Engineering Education
Technology is Human Innovation in Action - Mission and Vision
One of the main goals of Technology Engineering Education in Tennessee 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 Curriculum model is committed to the teaching of TIDE (Technology, Innovations, Design, and Engineering) in our schools. Our award winning Engineering by Design TM standards have been approved by Tennessee, NASA, National Science Foundation and the Academy of Engineering.
We provide a standards-based 5 - 12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) National curriculum that provides our students hands-on project-based activities and STEM driven competitive events in TSA (Technology Student Association). Our curriculum helps student prepare for careers in in the Engineering and Technology Program of Study and the Science and Mathematics Program of Study.
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.
