Project / Lead The Way
Career Pathway: Technical & Engineering Systems
 

WHAT is the curriculum for the Engineering/Project Lead the Way program?

Some of the main areas of study in this program are:
• Introduction to Engineering Design - using the design development process, models are created, analyzed and communicated using solid modeling computer design software.
• Digital Electronics - based upon applied logic, computer simulation software is used to design and test digital circuitry systems.
• Principals of Engineering - explores various technology systems and manufacturing processes. Students use math, science and technology in an engineering problem solving process to create real world solutions.
• Computer Integrated Manufacturing - this sequence builds on the computer solid modeling skills developed in Introduction to Engineering. Fundamental concepts of robotics use in automated manufacturing and design analysis are used.
• Engineering Design and Development - this is an engineering research component where students work in teams to formulate, design and construct a solution to an open-ended engineering problem. This is a sequential component for 2nd year students, which allows them to  apply principles developed in

the four preceding curricular areas.
