Welcome to Engineering and Technology! Before we begin to see how engineering and technology affect our lives on a daily basis, let’s look at what is encompassed under the CTAE (Career, Technical and Agricultural Education) umbrella. We are going to do this by looking at a CTAE Pathway at the college level vs. a Math/Science Pathway at the college level. We are going to look at Kennesaw State University’s programs in several of these categories. Since KSU’s merger with Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Technology, this is a great place to look at several college options in each of these pathways.

This module includes 7 pages:

Vocabulary words

Links to Kennesaw State University - we use this school because it's close to us, but I also allow students to choose a college of their choice - they just have to look for their own links.

Introduction/description to CTAE

Create a hobbies/interest list.

Create paths of studies comparisons.
