6. High School Program four year sequence of courses combined with traditional mathematics and science introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering prior to entering college those not intending to pursue further formal education will benefit greatly from the knowledge and logical thought processes that result from taking some or all of the courses provided in the curriculum.

7. Foundation: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specialization : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capstone : Computer Integrated Manufacturing(CIM) and/or: Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA) and/or: Biotechnical Engineering (BE) (in development) and/or: Aerospace Engineering (AE) (in development) Principles of Engineering (POE) Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) Digital Electronics (DE)  Engineering Design and Development Pathway To Engineering High School Course Program Note: Course program requires college prep mathematics each year.

8. The curriculum is: “Standards Based”  National Academy of Sciences  National Council of Teachers of Mathematics  International Technology Education Association  English Language Arts

9. Attributes of the PLTW curriculum: Is contextual project/problem based Integrates national standards in mathematics, science, technology and English/language arts Is supported by comprehensive professional development for teachers Prepares students for successful transition to college—in all 2/4 year college programs Is sustained and updated through a private not-for-profit foundation

11. Authentic Assessment: Great Aunt Mildred’s favorite fragile glass decorations are in danger of being crushed when she puts them away for the season. The original cardboard storage box is no longer usable. She needs your help. Design a container which will hold her spherical and rectangular shaped glass decorations. It needs to be made of a sturdy material which will not disintegrate over time, and needs to securely hold the decorations without allowing them to rattle and roll against each other and break. The size and weight must be appropriate for Aunt Mildred to lift and put away.
