Pilot Program for NJ High Schools
The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) has partnered with the New Jersey Department of Education to create a model Program of Study in Engineering & Technology for the high school level.
Knowledge and Skills Statements (PDF)
Knowledge and Skills Statements are industry-validated statements that describe what learners/employees need to know and be able to do for career success within the STEM cluster and/or corresponding pathways.
Sample Programs of Study (PDF) Example 2 (PDF)
A program of study is a sequence of instruction (based on recommended standards and knowledge and skills) consisting of coursework, co-curricular activities, work-site learning, service learning and other learning experiences. This sequence of instruction provides preparation for a career.
Standard 9.4 describes knowledge and skills that prepare students for postsecondary education, training, and employment in a chosen career pathway. Unlike standards 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3, which apply to all students from grades K-12, standard 9.4 applies only to high school students enrolled in career and technical education programs.

STEM-related courses typically take place in a non-traditional classroom (a materials/tools/equipment environment or lab setting). A cornerstone of a successful STEM education program of study is the design of the facilities. Safety is a paramount concern when working with students in this type of setting. Selecting the appropriate equipment and resources, and planning the design and management of the facility directly impacts the learning that takes place there.
