Technology
Engineering Design and Development (PLTW)
This course is an engineering research course
in which students work in teams to research design and construct a
solution to an open-ended engineering problem. Students apply
principles developed in preceding courses and are guided by a
community mentor. Students submit progress reports and a final
written report, as well as defend their solutions to a panel of
outside reviewers at the end of the school year. Although it is a
PLTW course, it is strongly recommended for any student pursuing a
technology sequence.
