PLTW Engineering, Design, and Development

Engineering Design and Development (PLTW) (Honors)

Course Number(s):  T431621

Length: 1 Semester (2 Credits)

Prerequisites: Principles of Engineering

Grade: 12

This course fulfills the Senior Project graduation requirement for seniors at Johnson High School.

This course works very similarly to Senior Finale in that students will complete a project, portfolio and present their project.  The main difference is that in this class, students will be working in teams which, together, will think of a common everyday problem, research solutions to that problem and come up with unique solutions to that problem through the creation and development of a product.  During the process, students will develop their research, writing and presentation skills.  Students will write a technical report around their project, documenting the process of development, design and testing of the project.  Students will also create a portfolio documenting their project and give a presentation at the end of the course.
