Engineers make a world of difference!
Students apply the engineering design process, using math, science, and engineering standards to identify and design mechanical solutions to a variety of real problems. They work both individually and in collaborative teams to develop and document design solutions using engineering notebooks and D modeling software. Are you ready to design the future?
Introduction to Engineering Design
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a high school engineering course in the PLTW Engineering Program. In IED, students explore engineering tools and apply a common approach to the solution of engineering problems, an engineering design process. Utilizing the activity-project-problem-based (APB) teaching and learning pedagogy, students progress from completing structured activities to solving open-ended projects and problems that require them to plan, document, communicate, and develop other professional skills.
