  1. Principles of Engineering Technology and Engineering Education Josh Elliott

  2. About Me • Josh Elliott • jelliott@neshaminy.k12.pa.us • 12th year Teaching • 10th in Neshaminy • Lead Teacher and Department Chairperson • 7th grade soccer and 8th grade softball coach at Sandburg Middle School • Teacher for the Summer STEM Academy

  3. What is PLTW? • Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the leading provider of rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the U.S.

  4. What is PLTW? • STEM education is at the heart of today’s high-tech, high-skill global economy. For America to remain economically competitive, our next generation of leaders -- the students of today -- must develop the critical-reasoning and problem-solving skills that will help make them the most productive in the world.

  5. What is PLTW? • PLTW engage students in activities-, projects-, and problem-based learning, which provides hands-on classroom experiences. Students create, design, build, discover, collaborate and solve problems while applying what they learn in math and science.

  6. What is PLTW? • PLTW's comprehensive curriculum for engineering has been collaboratively designed by PLTW teachers, university educators, engineering professionals and school administrators to promote critical thinking, creativity, innovation and real-world problem solving skills in students.

  7. What is PLTW? • More than 4,700 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia are offering PLTW courses to their students in the 2012-13 school year. In addition, PLTW trains more than 3,000 teachers each year to instruct its engaging, rigorous STEM education curriculum.

  8. Principles of Engineering (POE) Designed for 10th or 11th grade students, this survey course exposes students to major concepts they’ll encounter in a post-secondary engineering course of study.

  9. Principles of Engineering (POE) They develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges, document their work and communicate solutions.

  10. POE Topics • Mechanisms • Energy Sources • Energy Applications • Machine Control • Fluid Power • Statics • Material Testing • Statistics • Kinematics
