Program of Study
Principles of Applied Engineering
Principles of Applied Engineering provide an overview of the various fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and their interrelationships. Students will develop engineering communication skills, which include computer graphics, modeling, and presentations, by using a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Students will use multiple software applications to prepare and present course assignments.
Engineering Science
Engineering Science is an engineering course designed to expose students to some of the major concepts and technologies that they will encounter in a postsecondary program of study in any engineering domain. Students will have an opportunity to investigate engineering and high-tech careers. In Engineering Science, students will employ science, technology, engineering, and mathematical concepts in the solution of real-world challenge situations. Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges.
Aerospace Engineering
PLTW Aerospace Engineering ignites students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. Aerospace Engineering is one of the specialization courses in the PLTW Engineering program. The course deepens the skills and knowledge of an engineering student within the context of atmospheric and space flight.
Introduction to Aircraft Technology
Introduction to Aircraft Technology is designed to teach the theory of operation of aircraft airframes, power plants, and associated maintenance and repair practices. Maintenance and repair practices include knowledge of the function, diagnosis, and service of general curriculum subjects, airframe structures, airframe systems and components, power plant theory and maintenance, and power plant systems and components of aircraft.
Practicum in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics
This course is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences occur in a variety of locations appropriate to the nature/level of experience.
