Introduction to Engineering Design is the first of a four-course menu for a pre-engineering program entitled “Project Lead the Way” (PLTW). This course will provide a foundation background for students who have an interest or aptitude in engineering. Among the topics addressed will be a survey of the different kinds of engineering careers, problem-solving activities requiring engineering applications, structural and design analysis of various gadgets/machines, and technology applications. Students will exit this course with a more accurate and realistic understanding of the roles, expectations, and types of engineering.  This course must be taken for DMACC credit.
