Taught at Weber Innovation High SchoolThe knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in this senior capstone course. Students work through the entire design process in teams of 2 to 4. Teams identify an engineering problem and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Turning ideas into design will incorporate problem identification, market research and brainstorming possible solutions, advanced 3D modeling, implementation of the solution, and evaluation. The completed portfolio has proven invaluable to students as they apply to college and seek employment.

Aerospace Engineering is one of the specialization courses in the PLTW Engineering program. The course deepens the skills and knowledge of an engineering student within the context of atmospheric and space flight. Students explore the fundamentals of flight in air and space as they bring the concepts to life by designing and testing components related to flight such as an airfoil, propulsion system, and a rocket. They learn orbital mechanics concepts and apply these by creating models using industry-standard software. Field trips are a great way to see professionals putting into practice what we have been learning. Depending on what is available, potential field trips include Hill AFB, Northrop Grumman, Barnes Aerospace and others.
