  1. Eastern High School PLTW

  2. The Problem There are currently engineering/engineering technology jobs available in the U.S. without trained people to fill them. 1,300,000

  3. Exposure to Real Engineering • The PLTW classes are modeled after introductory engineering courses taught at the university level. • Students gain first hand experience to find out what engineering is all about.

  4. Who should take PLTW courses?

  5. The Student who is: • In the top 80% of his/her class. • Good in mathematics and science. • Interested in being an engineer or technologist. • Good in art and design. • Interested in computers. • Student who learns best by “doing.”

  6. The Student who is: • Willing to work hard!!!

  7. PLTW Courses

  8. PLTW at Eastern Jr/Sr. High School Introduction to Engineering Design Computer based 3D Modeling and Design Digital Electronics Working with electronic circuits and logic Principles of Engineering Understanding relationships between science and engineering

  9. Introduction to Engineering Design • 3D modeling with AutoDesk inventor • Understanding and implementing the design process • Problem solving and product design • Creating detailed drawings

  10. Hands On . . . Minds On

  11. Create detailed annotated drawings…

  12. The Chess Board

  13. DigitalElectronics This is a course in applied logic that encompasses the application of electronic circuits and devices.

  14. Test Equipment

  15. Electrical Components

  16. Designing Circuits Computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry prior to the actual construction of circuits and devices

  17. Constructing Circuits After designing circuits, students build and test their circuits in lab.

  18. Blast Off To the Future
