Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is one of two foundational courses in the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) high school pre-engineering program. In this foundation course you will dig deep into the engineering design process by applying and concurrently developing your knowledge and skills in math, science, technology, and engineering to hands-on projects. You will work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document your work. The major focus of the course is to expose you to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation.
