Project lead the way
219901 Introduction to Engineering Design: This course provides instruction and experiences that develop foundational skills in engineering processes. Students gain skills in problem-solving by using a design development process. Models of product solutions are created, analyzed, and communicated using solid modeling computer design software.

219902 Principles of Engineering: This course promotes a conceptual understanding of the engineering/engineering technology field. Exploring various technology systems and manufacturing processes help students learn how engineers and technicians use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process to benefit people. The course also addresses concerns about social and political consequences of technological change.

219906 Engineering Design and Development (Capstone): This is a capstone course that culminates and applies concepts learned in previous PLTW courses. In this course, students work in teams to research, design, and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. Students are guided by an engineer mentor. They must present progress reports, submit a final written report, and defend their solutions to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the course. This course may be 18 or 36 weeks in duration.
