*Recommended sequence of classes

 

*Number of  Required Credits - 18 Credits 
*Number of Total Credits for Pathways Scholar Designation - 22 Credits
25% of 88 credits for graduation
 
Potential Certifications: OSHA 10 Safety Certification,  Autodesk certifications
 
Potential Career Paths: Aviation Technician, Biomedical Engineer, CAD Associate, Civil Engineer, Civil Engineering Technician, CNC Machinist, Electrical Engineer,  Facilities Management, Industrial Machinery Mechanic, Industrial Engineer, Instrumentation and Controls Technician, Mechanical Engineer, Millwright, Robotics Technician
 
The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in Engineering Design and Development as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standards, completing Engineering Design and Development ready to take on any post-secondary program or career.
