Why Engineering at the High Schools?
• The National Standards are supported by
the engineering community:
– National Academy of Engineering (NAE)
– Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME)
– American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME)
– Institute for Electrical & Electronics Engineers
(IEEE)
Two High School Options
1) Engineering Focus
(The Utah Plan)
2) Engineering Focus
(Project Lead The Way)
High Schools can
choose between
two engineering
options, PLTW or
the Utah Plan.
They can also
choose to provide
feeder courses for
other ATE
programs.
