The program of mathematics education started to train and develop superior secondary school mathematics teachers in 1964 within the Department of Mathematics. This program grew and developed into an independent Department of Mathematics Education in 2009. The department aims on cultivating professional research personnel and excellent middle and high school teachers who will lead the future of mathematics education, and trains theories and practical experiences mathematic teachers must have. In order to cultivate teachers with multiple expertise, the department provides professional lectures about fundamental mathematical concepts and processes, the development of mathematics curriculum materials, and teaching methods applicable to a variety of age levels, interests, and aptitudes.

After graduation, most graduates teach math in secondary schools. Besides becoming teachers, they can further their study to become professors, researchers, finance experts after completing a master's or a doctor's degree.

The technology education program will help you to become a technology teacher or an expert of technology education through the combination of classes with various experience. In addition to developing theoretical and practical knowledge of the technology (manufacturing technology, construction technology, transportation technology, information and communication technology, and biotechnology), you will develop your ability to teach the technology for students. The department of technology education was established in 1981 for the first time in Korea. And it has nurtured technology teachers who would lead technology education in the future. Recently, it is a proud of our program that the highest percentage of successful applicants in teacher certification examination in Korea. Our program is a mecca for the technology education in Korea and we would be with competitive edge not only in Korea also in the international society.

After the first graduates in 1985, more than 99% of graduates have worked as technology teacher in middle school, public officials in the Ministry of Education, professional engineering researchers and university professors.

The Department of Construction Engineering Education was founded in 2009 in response to the demands of domestic university development and educational reform. The main objective of the Program in this Department is to prepare, train and educate students to become a good teachers with ability in the technical high school through undergraduate programs. The Department of Construction Engineering Education provides undergraduate students with the curriculum for construction education theory, construction engineering and experiment-practice related architecture and civil so that let them train technical high school students as a worker(technician) in the construction fields. Additionally, this Department will be a great contributor to the professional educator training and policy development through graduate programs.

After graduation, students get a teacher's certificate and will be appointed in a technical high school. In addition, they will enter the graduate schools in Korea and abroad, and will work in the construction companies, government and public offices as engineer and education expert.

The department cultivates creative educator in the fields of Mechanical Engineering Education.

Department of Mechanical Engineering Education at CNU College of Education was found as department of mechanical engineering education and department of Materials engineering education in 1977. Since establishment, the department has nurtured professionals in industrial & engineering education and competent technical high school teachers with theories and practices needed for industrial technicians education. Therefore, the students learn not only universalistic theories and practices of mechanical engineering but also the theories and reality of mechanical engineering teaching method, while attaining humanity as teachers. Ultimately, the department aims to educate students to become competent teachers and professionals in the fields of mechanical engineering education.

After graduation, students get a teacher's certificate and will be appointed in a technical high school. Other career opportunities include working as an employee in educational institutions, wide range of industry company, or public officials in government organizations.

Department of Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education is established with the aims of the education for professional teachers who educate talented people with creative techniques in Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education area, which generates diverse demands of workers in the coming information age. The department was created from the department of electrical engineering education and the department of electronics engineering education in the college of engineering education in 1977, jointly reorganized for Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education major in 2006, and independently separated as Department of Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education when the college of education is established in 2009. Currently with tradition of more than 30 years, the department plays the part of a mecca of education for professional teachers in Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education area, producing teachers of more than 70 % in Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education area in the technical high school. The department is focusing on engineering principle and technology and related education in the area of electronics, semiconductor, communications, control, etc.

Because Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education is the essential area for the progress of human society, the role of the teachers in the Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education area should be important. Therefore, our department provides students with systematic and high-quality education for professional teachers who educate technically talented people with specialized background, technique, and professional education ability in the Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Education area.

The Department of Chemical Engineering Education was founded in 1977 as a member of the College of Engineering Education. As the belonging college was converted to focus on engineering oriented education, transformed Our department was reorganized into the Division of Industrial Education under the College of Engineering in 2006 and finally transferred to the College of Education in 2009 for cultivating teacher students as leading professionals in education market.

Chemical engineering is an industrial area that apply basic sciences such as physical chemistry (e.g. chemistry and physics), life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry), and mathematics, into the industrial processes that convert raw materials or chemicals into more valuable products. In addition, the modern chemical engineering is also taking roles in pioneering new functional materials and cutting-edge techniques such as nanotechnology and biomedical engineering. The chemical engineering generally covers the design, improvement and maintenance of processes involving chemical or biological transformations for large-scale manufacture.

Our department focuses on practical education as well as broad knowledge of major studies for students to become competent teachers with providing students academic theories and their practical methodologies in both the fields of chemical engineering and education. The students will acquire theoretical backgrounds and skills to teach chemical engineering with teaching certification for secondary schools with graduation. In addition, students can obtain additional certificates via the Integrated Program in the college. A majority of our graduates are teaching chemical engineering at secondary schools and making great contributions to educational development in educational society.
