Industrial Technology Overview: Graduation and Teaching-License Requirements

Industrial Technology Overview is a 2-credit course classified as free-choice for graduation requirements. In the relevant teacher-training tables, however, it is treated separately and may be required for obtaining an industrial-subject teaching license.

Credits and graduation classification

Industrial Technology Overview carries 2 credits. In the supplied curriculum tables, its graduation-requirement classification is free-choice. This classification applies in the listed 2025 and 2026 curricula for the Faculty of Engineering, Division II; the Faculty of Engineering; the School of Future Science; the School of System Design and Technology; and, where specified, the Faculty of Science and Technology. Some course tables also describe it as an industrial-subject required course and a department-specialist course. Those descriptions do not change its graduation-requirement classification of free-choice. In the listed curricula, the course is offered in the second semester of the third year as a lecture.

Status in the teacher-training curriculum

In the listed teacher-training curriculum for the Faculty of Engineering, Division II, Industrial Technology Overview is a 2-credit course in the subject-specific professional-content category for industrial subjects. In the 2026-entry Division II table, it is listed as required, with an allocation in the third year and second semester. In another Division II teacher-training table, the 2 credits shown in parentheses indicate a free-choice course. Thus, the course's teacher-training-table classification differs by the applicable curriculum table.

Requirement for an industrial-subject teaching license

For the applicable teacher-license tables, Industrial Technology Overview is listed under the industrial-subject professional-content requirements and is shaded. The supplied notes state that shaded courses are mandatory for obtaining the teaching license, even when the course is classified as free-choice for graduation requirements. Therefore, for the 2026 Faculty of Engineering table, the course is free-choice for graduation but mandatory for the teaching-license requirements. The same free-choice graduation classification is also documented for the 2025 School of System Design and Technology curriculum. The 2026-entry Division II table lists the course as required for the teacher-training category; the supplied evidence notes uncertainty in the table reading.
