Industrial Design and Manufacturing
Industrial Design and Manufacturing
In PLTW Engineering, students engage in open-ended problem solving, learn and apply the engineering design process, and use the same industry-leading technology and software as are used in the world's top companies. Students are immersed in design as they investigate topics such as sustainability, mechatronics, forces, structures, aerodynamics, digital electronics and circuit design, manufacturing, and the environment , which gives them the opportunity to learn about different engineering disciplines before beginning post-secondary education or careers.

PLTW Computer Science empowers students to become creators, instead of merely consumers, of the technology all around them. The program engages students in real-world activities like creating an online art portal and using automation to process and analyze DNA-sequence data. These projects and problems engage students in computational thinking, challenge them to think big, and help illustrate how intricately computer science is woven into our society.

As students work together to design solutions, they learn computational thinking - not just how to code - and transform themselves into builders of tech. The program's courses empower students with in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.

Whether discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to their communities, today's biomedical science professionals are tackling big challenges to make the world a better place.
Whether discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to their communities, today's biomedical science professionals are tackling big challenges to make the world a better place.
PLTW Biomedical Science students are taking on these same real-world challenges - and they're doing it before they even graduate from high school. Working with the same tools used by professionals in hospitals and labs, students engage in compelling, hands-on activities and work together to find solutions to problems. Students take from the course in-demand knowledge and skills they will use in high school and for the rest of their lives, on any career path they take.
