Current Initiatives

General Education

Creating “a Tech-unique general education curriculum to provide the foundation for technologically adept, analytically capable, and career-ready graduates” is identified as a priority action in the strategic plan. As such, Tennessee Tech is in the midst of a long-term (multiple committees over multiple years) review of its General Education curriculum.

Tech-infused Course/Program

Tech Tomorrow Faculty Leads will be working closely with the Office of Institutional Assessment, Research and Effectiveness and new resources and personnel within Academic Affairs, the CAFÉ and CITL on a self-study to determine next steps in accomplishing the expansion of Tech-infused courses and programs across the university.

One-to-One Technology Committee

This committee is examining the feasibility of a one-to-one technology initiative at Tennessee Tech. The committee’s early discussions focused on how to best accomplish providing a similar student technology service to all students. The two avenues are:

Issuing a device to all students; and
Providing a client-based service that will deliver university-licensed software to a student’s personal device.

The committee is preparing a proposal with a tentative starting point of incoming freshmen for Fall 2025.
