This program is about applying engineering, science, math, and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context. Introduction to Engineering and Design students focus on the process of defining and solving a problem, not on getting the "right" answer. Students work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software. Digital Electronics provides a foundation for students who are interested in electrical engineering, electronics, or circuit design. In Principles of Engineering students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, and automation. The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in Engineering Design & Development as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers.
