The mission of technology education is to assist students in developing an understanding of all aspects of industry and technology and to aid them in the discovery and development of their individual potential.

The study of technology education can also help students to do the following 
• Know and appreciate the importance of technology.
• Apply tools, materials, processes, and technical concepts safely and efficiently.
• Uncover and develop individual talents.
• Apply problem-solving techniques.
• Apply creative abilities.
• Adjust to the changing environment.
• Become wiser consumers.
• Become technologically literate.
• Make informed career choices (e.g., scientist, engineer, technician, or craftsperson).
