PLTW Introduction to Design (ID):

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, innovative design, and engineering standards to a manufacturing-focused curriculum. They work on hands-on projects both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using various 3D modeling software to prepare the student towards industry certification, basic manufacturing, and use an engineering notebook to document their work.

PLTW Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM):

Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminates the opportunities related to understanding advanced manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. The curriculum will feature in-depth coverage of the advanced manufacturing process from design to production. Projects simulate the entire production/change order process used in manufacturing environments, providing an authentic learning experience (Intellitek, 2015).

LBCC/CSULB Dual Enrollment

PLTW Principles of Engineering (POE)- Option 1:

Through problems that engage and challenge, students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, automation, and manufacturing processes. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design documentation, collaboration, and presentation.

PLTW Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA)- Option 2:

In CEA students are introduced to important aspects of building and site design and development. Through both individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems, students will solve problems as they practice common design and development protocols such as project management and peer review. Students will develop skill in engineering calculations, technical representation and documentation of design solutions according to accepted technical standards, and use of current 3D architectural design and modeling software to represent and communicate solutions.

PLTW Engineering Design and Development (EDD):

The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in EDD as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills they have developed in previous PLTW courses to ethically develop a product, document it, and present it.
