PLTW Courses

Introduction to Engineering Design                    
(Year 1)                                                          
Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects. They work both individually and in teams to design solutions to a variety of problems using 3D modeling software, and use an engineering notebook to document their work.

Aerospace Engineering (HON) 
(Year 2 Lenape only)
This course propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students bring the concepts to life by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets. They learn basic orbital mechanics using industry-standard software. They also explore robot systems through projects such as remotely operated vehicles.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (HON)
(Year 2 Lenape only)
Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminates the opportunities related to understanding manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. Students can earn a virtual manufacturing badge recognized by the National Manufacturing Badge system.

AP Computer Science Principles (HON)
(Year 2 Seneca only)
Computer Science Principles is a full-year course for students in grades 10-12.  In Computer Science Principles, students will learn to express their creativity through code, analyze computing innovations and their impacts on our lives. Whether students are seeking a career in the growing field of computer science or learning how computer science is transforming all careers, students will learn the fundamentals of coding, data processing, data security, and automating tasks while learning to contribute to an inclusive, safe and ethical computing culture

Civil Engineering and Architecture (HON)
(Year 2 Cherokee only)
Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3-D architectural design software.

Environmental Sustainability (HON)
(Year 2 Seneca and Shawnee only)
In ES, students investigate and design solutions in response to real-world challenges related to clean and abundant drinking water, food supply issues, and renewable energy. Applying their knowledge through hands-on activities and simulations, students research and design potential solutions to these true-to-life challenges.

Principles of Engineering (HON)
(Year 3)
Through problems that engage and challenge, students explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, the strength of structures and materials, and automation. Students develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, and presentation.

PLTW Capstone (HON)
(Year 4)
Students engage in an open-ended research experience in the PLTW Capstone course, a culminating program for those completing PLTW's high school offerings. They collaborate in teams, designing and developing original solutions to well-defined and justified real-world problems.
