Industrial Arts & Engineering Education

Engineering (Industrial Arts) education provides lifelong learning patterns for living and working effectively in a changing technological environment. Participants in the engineering programming work actively in a hands-on environment with technological tools, materials, and processes to transform concepts and ideas into goods and services. Problems, ideas, and concepts are explored from the research/investigation stage to product construction, and ultimately to final testing and assessment/ evaluation of the goods produced. Because of the changing nature of society and the workplace, the practical skills and knowledge developed are relevant to many other areas of life.
