The Pre-Engineering program consists of Honors and AP courses and follows the Project Lead The Way curriculum. ​The program explores many engineering disciplines by introducing students to a large range of topics. Throughout the program they will encounter drafting, design, research, analysis, presentation, budgeting, project management, manufacturing materials and processes, mechanisms, robotics, coding, control systems, energy and power, electrical circuits, fluid power, kinematics, statistics, 3D modeling, computer integrated manufacturing, land surveying, architectural and structural design, site layout, utilities, road design and transportation, and so much more.

 

Pre-Engineering teaches students practical knowledge, technical skills, critical thinking, communication, visualization, and the mathematical ability required to be an engineer. They regularly use several Microsoft Office and Autodesk software applications. They use computers, plotters, hand tools, Haas CNC mills, laser engravers, 3D printers, VEX robotics, and survey equipment. Pre Engineering students may participate in a variety of community projects and competitions. The Pre-Engineering program is rigorous yet exploratory, making it a great first step for students interested in pursuing post-secondary education for engineering.

​

PLTW students may earn Advanced Math Modeling embedded credit and a non-transcript third science credit.

 

This program can be completed in one year (540 clock hours).

​

Class starts in August each year.
