Co-Req: Algebra 1
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3-D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work.
Pre-Req: Introduction to Engineering Design, Algebra 1
Students explore how modern engineers help improve the world through diverse engineering fields, such as product design, mechanical design, infrastructure, and sustainability. Students learn and use some of the cutting edge tools engineers use in robotics, 3D modeling, programming, and prototyping.
Pre-Req: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering
From smartphones to appliances, digital circuits are all around us. This course provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. Students study topics such as combinational and sequential logic and are exposed to circuit design tools used in industry, including logic gates, integrated circuits, and programmable logic devices.
Pre-Req: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering
Students explore the physics of flight and space through software simulations and hands-on experiences. They bring concepts to life by designing and testing an airfoil, propulsion system, and a rocket. Students learn how these concepts apply to a career in aerospace engineering and other engineering fields.
Coming Soon!
Pre-Req: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering
Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development, and then they apply what they know to design a commercial building.
Pre-Req: Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics OR Aerospace Engineering OR Civil Engineering & Architecture
Students engage in an open-ended research experience in the PLTW Capstone course, a culminating program for those completing PLTW's high school offerings. They collaborate in teams, designing and developing original solutions to well-defined and justified real-world problems.
