Tenor High School currently offers three Project Lead The Way (PLTW) classes. Introduction to Engineering and Design (IED), Principles of Engineering (POE), and Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA).
Introduction To Engineering
The major focus of this course is to learn how to take an idea through the design process from brainstorming to manufacturing of a product. As you learn about various aspects of engineering and engineering design, such as how engineers communicate through drawing, you will apply what you have learned through various activities, projects, and problems.
In addition, you will use Inventor, which is a state of the art 3-D design software package from AutoDesk, to help you design solutions to different design projects. Working in teams, you will learn about documenting your solutions, solving problems, and communicating your solutions to other students and members of the professional community of engineering and engineering design.
Introduction to Engineering Design TM is intended to serve as a foundation course within the Project Lead The Way® course sequence. All of the topics learned in this course will be used in future courses.
Principles Of Engineering
Designed for 10th grade students, this survey course of engineering exposes students to major concepts they’ll encounter in a post secondary engineering course of study. Students employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of engineering design problems. They develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges, documenting their work and communicating solutions to peers and members of the professional community.
Civil Engineering and Architecture
The third course in a rigorous high school program that introduces students to the wide variety of engineering disciplines using problem-solving, visualization and communication skills, with an emphasis on Civil Engineering and Architecture. This course covers the following:
· Understand technology as a tool for problem solving
· Understand the design process, problem solving, and the
application of technology in engineering.
· Use mathematical principles to find solutions to design situations
· Develop a teamwork environment
· Prepare students for the rigor of college-level programs in
engineering or engineering technology.
