PLTW - Engineering

PLTW

 

Middle School Automation and Robotics

Students learn about the history and impact of automation and robotics as they explore mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems. Using the VEX Robotics® platform, students apply what they know to design and program traffic lights, robotic arms, and more.

High School Introduction to Engineering - DDP (Introduction to Engineering Design)
College credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product. High School Principles of Engineering College credit through the Rochester Institute of Technology Students explore a broad range of engineering topics including mechanisms, the strength of structure and materials, and automation, and then they apply what they know to take on challenges like designing a self-powered car.
