Design & Technology Education Mission

The mission of the Design and Technology academic program (formerly Industrial Technology Education) is to provide students with the educational preparation to enter careers in construction management and technology education. Design and Technology education addresses the principles of graphic and technological communications, construction, manufacturing, and energy, power and transportation for the future educator in the middle school, or secondary setting. Design and Technology education prepares the future construction manager for productive and lucrative service in the High Plains region of the nation.

Students in this program will develop knowledge, skills, competencies and attitudes so they will be able to:

  • Demonstrate ability in the application of basic management principles as related to construction or educational environments within the regional and global economies.
  • Apply technical knowledge in manufacturing, energy, power and transportation, graphic and technological communications and construction in problem situations relevant to their study of construction or technology education.
  • Demonstrate behaviors and attitudes consistent to team building leadership strategies within the regional and global economies.
  • Develop a skill set of construction and educational processes as they apply to the regional as well as global economies.
