  2. Your Name Tags Blue, Red or Green – Rotation through the student presentation sessions.

  3. What Is PLTW? Project Lead The Way is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation

  4. The PLTW Mission Create dynamic partnerships with our nation’s schools to prepare an increasing and more diverse group of students to be successful in engineering and engineering technology programs.

  5. PLTW Network 49 States & D.C., & Virgin Islands – 2,000+ Schools

  6. PLTW Programs • Middle School Program • Gateway To Technology • High School Program • Pathway To Engineering

  7. Gateway To Technology • Designed to show middle school students how technology is used in engineering to solve everyday problems and introduce them to the possibility of an engineering career.

  8. Middle SchoolGateway To Technology • Design & Modeling • The Magic of Electrons • The Science of Technology • Automation & Robotics • Flight & Space

  9. Middle SchoolGateway To Technology • Design & Modeling • The Magic of Electrons • The Science of Technology • Automation & Robotics • Flight & Space Minimum of 2 units required in 2 years

  10. Middle SchoolGateway To Technology • Suggested Implementation Plans: • May Offer First Unit in 6th Grade or, • Spread Units Grade 6 through 8 or, • Teach 4 Of The 5 Units in Grade 8 • Should Be Combined With a Challenging Academic Curriculum

  11. High SchoolPathway To Engineering • Consists of Eight Courses • 3 Foundation Courses • 4 Specialization Courses • 1 Capstone Course

  12. High SchoolPathway To Engineering • Consists of Eight Courses • 3 Foundation Courses • 4 Specialization Courses • 1 Capstone Course • Required Full Implementation is 4 Courses in 4 Years

  13. Pathway To Engineering – Foundation Courses • Foundation Courses: • Introduction To Engineering Design (IED) * • Principles Of Engineering (POE) • Digital Electronics(DE) • Required Courses * IED is Design & Drawing For Production in New York State

  14. Pathway To Engineering – Foundation Courses • Typical Grade Offering: DDP is Design & Drawing For Production In NY State * Can Take Two PLTW Courses Concurrently

  15. Pathway To Engineering – Specialization & Capstone Courses • Specialization Courses: • Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) • Civil Engineering & Architecture (CEA) • Biotechnical Engineering • Aerospace Engineering • Engineering Design & Development • Must Offer One of These Courses
