The Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Academy of Engineering educates high school students in the principles of engineering, and provides content in the fields of electronics, biotechnology, aerospace, civil engineering, and architecture. The Academy of Engineering is a partnership with PLTW and the STEM Academy. The program is a four-year sequence of courses which, when combined with traditional mathematics and science courses in high school, introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering prior to entering college. Students in the Academy of Engineering take specialized courses specific to the academy, such as Principles of Engineering, Introduction to Engineering Design, and Digital Electronics. Specialization courses include Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Biotechnical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture, Aerospace Engineering, and Capstone Course: Engineering Design and Development.
