The Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Pathway To Engineering (PTE) curriculum is designed as a four-year high school sequence. Foundation courses (Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, and Digital Electronics) are supplemented by a number of electives to create eight rigorous, relevant, reality-based courses:
Foundation Courses
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
- Using 3D computer modeling software, students learn the design process and solve design problems for which they develop, analyze, and create product models.
Principles of Engineering (POE)
- Students explore technology systems and engineering processes to find out how math, science, and technology help people.
Digital Electronics (DE)
- Students use computer simulation to learn about the logic of electronics as they design, test, and actually construct circuits and devices.
Specialization Courses
Aerospace Engineering (AE)
- Students learn about aerodynamics, astronautics, space-life sciences, and systems engineering through hands-on engineering problems and projects.
Capstone Course
Engineering Design and Development (EDD)
- Teams of students, guided by community mentors, work together to research, design, and construct solutions to engineering problems.
