Teaching and Learning

Intro to Engineering Design is a PLTW foundation course for students interested in engineering and design. Students will learn the various aspects of design and utilize state-of-the art CAD software and Rapid Prototyping equipment (3D printing) to apply problem-solving skills on a variety of real-world engineering problems. Students may at times be working directly with professional engineers, learning the skills and design knowledge necessary for a career in engineering. IED is part of Project Lead the Way, a multi-year, multi-course curriculum designed to support those students interested in the fields of physics, engineering and technology. Upon successful completion of this course and a college exam, students are eligible to receive three hours of articulated college credit in engineering. (This course does not qualify for NCAA eligibility.)
