Engineering & Technology Pathway
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.
