Introduction
The advanced technological education major is
designed for persons with a technical and/or
applied associate degree who are employed in
business, industry, or education and wish to
continue their education and/or prepare for
advancement. The degree combines BG Perspective
requirements with a core curriculum that includes
a technical and/or applied cognate and courses
in communication, training, and technology systems
management.
This
degree has twenty-seven hours (nine courses)
required for the major and eight hours of required
cooperative education credit. The major courses
are designed to supplement the student's work
experience and technological expertise with
educational experiences in a variety of study
skill sets, including computer-mediated communication,
technology systems in organizations, transformational
learning, understanding adult learning, project
and program evaluation systems, and organization
and presentation of information to groups.
This
degree requires a 36-hour cognate (area of technical
and/or applied courses), which typically is
transferred from an accredited associate degree.
Combined, these technical and/or applied courses
must demonstrate proficiency in a recognized
technical area. In the event that there are
fewer than 36 hours to complete a cognate, a
College of Technology faculty advisor will approve
courses to fulfill this requirement.
Learning
Outcomes
Upon
completion of the baccalaureate degree, students
in advanced technological education are expected
to:
- Demonstrate
critical, professional, and personal skills
such as independent thinking, communication
skills (oral, written and listening), ability
to work effectively within groups, and a commitment
to continuous learning;
- Demonstrate
strong problem solving, questioning and investigative,
and creative thinking skills;
- Exhibit
ethical values and behavior by articulating
the impact of alternative decisions on other
people (customers, shareholders, the public),
business operations, educational institutions,
and the environment;
- Understand
cultural, racial, and gender differences in
education, business, and industry well enough
to be able to address discriminatory practices;
- Communicate
with others using Web-based communication
technologies;
- Demonstrate
an academic integration of their applied/technical
cognate and the major courses stressing communication,
training, and technology systems management.
Admission
Admission
to this program is limited to those with an
earned technical
and/or applied
associate degree and related work experience.
Admission to the program is a two-part process:
admission to BGSU, followed by admission to
the College of Technology's Advanced Technological
Education program. Admission to the
University does not guarantee admission to the
program.
Courses
taken at a college or university on the quarter
system will transfer as fewer hours than the
BGSU equivalent. Some students must take additional
courses in their degree program to earn the
required 123 semester credit hours. A minimum
of 40 hours of credit must be at the 300 or
400 level.
Students
completing this degree may be ineligible for
honors distinction.
