PLTW - IED

In Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) students are introduced to the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to identify and design solutions to a variety of real problems. They work both individually and in collaborative teams to develop and document design solutions using PLTW Engineering Notebooks and 3D modeling software.

The course instructor serves more as a facilitator of learning than as a traditional lecturer. The instructor is sensitive to the needs of new learners of sophisticated computer applications and has an understanding of the challenges associated with teaching and learning software applications.
