What is this Pathway
What is this Pathway
The PLTW Biomedical Sciences Program is a sequence of four courses which follow the PLTW Engineering Program’s proven hands-on, real- world, problem-solving approach to learning. Students explore the concepts of human medicine and are introduced to bioinformatics, including mapping and analyzing DNA. Through activities, like dissecting a heart, students examine the processes, structures and interactions of the human body – often playing the role of biomedical professionals to solve mysteries. Think CSI meets ER. They also explore the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases working collaboratively to investigate and design innovative solutions for the health challenges of the 21st century such as fighting cancer with nanotechnology.

“Biomedical helped with planning my future career and learning the basics of forensic science and biomedical science. Biomedical has been fun to learn about the crime of Anna's death and breaking down from a medical perspective.”

“I'd describe this biomedical pathway experience as a new challenge because everyday there is something new to learn. One class day, you may walk into a crime scene or you may walk into class and see a centrifuge spinning pretend blood.”

“Amazing hands-on working experiences. The way we learn is by doing hands-on labs instead of memorizing. It makes the class more fun and easier to learn by seeing how things work in the body and how it happens.”

“I would say that this is one of the best programs Tustin High has to offer. I have learned so much and had a lot of hands on experience. There is never a day when you won't learn something new.”
