PLTW Principles of Engineering CTE CP Pending

Fine Art, Engineering
LHS, THS 10-12 10 * N
Lang, CTE Concentrator
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable CTE Pathway

Students in Principles of Engineering explore a broad range of engineering topics, including mechanisms, energy and power,
materials and structures, automation, statistics, and kinematics. Students investigate thermal energy and alternative energy
applications and explore solar hydrogen systems. They use analysis of beam deflection as a context for learning about material
properties and calculating the internal and external forces on an object. Students learn to control mechanical systems by
investigating computer inputs and outputs and understanding hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power. Students design a projectile
motion device to use as a basis for data collection, organization, and interpretation of results.
