Civil Engineering and Architecture

Civil Engineering and Architecture (Project Lead the Way)

Subject Area: Career and Technology Proposed

Number of Credits: 5 per semester Prerequisites:

Having passed Principles of Engineering with a C or better, previously taken or are currently enrolled in a college prep math course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The CEA course is intended to serve as the specialization course within the Engineering course sequence. The course is structured to enable all students to have a variety of experiences that will provide an overview of both fields. Students work in teams, exploring hands-on projects and activities to learn the characteristics of civil engineering and architecture.

The major focus of the Civil Engineering and ArchitectureTM (CEA) course is a long-term project that involves the development of a local property site. As students learn about various aspects of civil engineering and architecture, they apply what they learn to the design and development of this property. The course provides freedom to the students to develop the property as a simulation or to students to model the real-world experiences that civil engineers and architects experience when developing property.

The course curriculum can be accessed by going to mypltw.org and having your son or daughter use their log in information to see daily assignments.
