9th Grade year
• Introduction to Engineering Design™—uses a design
development process while enriching problemsolving skills;
students create and analyze models using specialized computer
software.
• Digital Electronics™—teaches applied logic through work
with electronic circuitry, which students also construct and test
for functionality.
• Civil Engineering and Architecture™—introduces students
to the interdependent fields of civil engineering and
architecture; students learn project planning, site planning, and
building design.

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.
Pathway To Engineering
High School Course Program
Foundation:
•Principles of Engineering (POE)
•Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)
•Digital Electronics (DE)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specialization: •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)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capstone:
Engineering Design and Development
Note: Course program requires college prep mathematics each year.
The curriculum is:
“Standards Based”
 National Academy of Sciences
 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
 International Technology Education Association
 English Language Arts
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
Traditional Assessment:
What is the volume of a sphere with a
radius of 1.5 inches? (14.13 inches cubed)
What is the surface area of a rectangular
prism 2 inches by 3 inches by 1.5 inches?
(27 square inches)
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.
Beverage Container Design Problem
Design a beverage container that will hold 12.5 fluid
ounces,  .25 oz. Prior to using the computer, sketch the
top and front view using the correct dimensions to acquire
the required volume. Show all your math calculations.
Using the computer design tool, apply good design criteria
of function and aesthetic value to solve this problem.
(The formula used will depend on the shape of the interior
volume and the students’ math ability.)

Introduction to Engineering Design
- A course that teaches problem-solving skills using
a design development process.
- Models of product solutions are created analyzed
and communicated using solid modeling computer
design software.
- In NYS, the course is called Design and Drawing
for Production and follows the syllabus developed
by the State Education Department.
