Teach courses pertaining to the design, engineering, and manufacturing processes through the use of materials such as wood and household materials in a “hands‑on” lab/shop environment. Teach the engineering design process through the use of student‑centered project‑based learning approaches. Classes may include introductory construction technology, transportation systems, technical drawing, and computer‑aided design.

• A bachelor’s degree in technology engineering
  ;
  Masters degree preferred.
• Experience teaching at the middle school level is preferred.
• Desire and ability to mentor students.
• Subject matter knowledge – technology engineering teachers understand scientific laws and engineering principles, including energy sources and applications, machine systems, and material behavior.
• Teaching skills – the ability to plan course content, select applicable teaching materials, and assign appropriate coursework is important since engineering teachers are responsible for developing curriculum and teaching students new skills.
