PROJECT LEAD THE WAY (ENGINEERING)

PLTW Engineering is more than just another high school engineering program. It is about applying engineering, science, math, and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context. Students focus on the process of defining and solving a problem, not on getting the "right" answer. They learn how to apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to make the world a better place through innovation. PLTW students have said that PLTW Engineering influenced their post-secondary decisions and helped shape their future. Even for students who do not plan to pursue engineering after high school, the PLTW Engineering program provides opportunities to develop highly transferable skills in collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, which are relevant for any coursework or career. COURSE TITLE: Introduction to Engineering and Design GRADE: 9-12 COURSE LENGTH: One Year/ 1 credit PREREQUISITES: None This course is designed for students to learn the engineering design process. Topics include defining and justifying a design problem, generating multiple idea or solution paths. Constructing test prototypes of a problem solution. Physical models, drawings and diagrams are created during the course. Students will also be able to identify and differentiate between the mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineering fields. Students in this course will be eligible for College Credit a PLTW recognition on their transcript.

COURSE TITLE: Principles of Engineering GRADE: 9-12 COURSE LENGTH: One Year/ 1 credit PREREQUISITES: None This course is designed for students who want to apply math, science, and discipline-specific skills to solve problems. Students will be exposed to engineering technology careers with a variety of backgrounds. Students will test design and mechanical systems. Students will study: energy, power, mechanics, design, control systems, fluid power, and kinematics. Students in this course will be eligible for College Credit and PLTW recognition on their transcript. COURSE TITLE: Aerospace Engineering GRADE: 9-12 COURSE LENGTH: One Year/ 1 credit PREREQUISITES: Introduction to Engineering and Design or Principles of Engineering Aerospace Engineering is one of the specialization courses in the PLTW Engineering program. Students will study: the evolution of flight, physics of flight, flight planning and navigation, aerospace design, flight physiology, space travel, orbital mechanics, and remote systems. Students in this course will be eligible for College Credit and PLTW recognition on their transcript.

MANUFACTURING COURSE TITLE: Concepts of Programming for Technicians GRADE: 10-12 COURSE LENGTH: One Semester/ .5 Credit PREREQUISITES: Completion of Geometry This course introduces students to programming fundamentals necessary in automation related careers.
