This subreddit is dedicated to a set of middle and high school courses created by Project Lead the Way.; however, this subreddit will be monitored by students who are enrolling in the PLTW course.

Some info about the PLTW course

It is a career academy course, and in many schools replace the need to take language classes.

It also provides technology credits (except for the first class, Intro to Engineering Design); in addition to that, if you receive a final grade of a C or higher, and Pass your final exam, you have to potential to receive college credit!

-----------------------------------

Some quick rules of this subreddit

1). Asking for help on a project is encouraged! If you are stuck on something, put your abbreviated class title in brackets i.e. [POE] and ask away! :)

2). Feel free to post accomplishments! Alot of builds are hard, and this subreddit will allow you to show everyone else what you are doing in the PLTW classes!

3). As mentioned before, put your abreviated class title in brackets before posting a question or your project. This way people who are taking the same class, or took the same one, can help you and/or post their own accomplishments in the comments.

4). Please do not use foul language, or at least try not to.

PLTW Water Quality Survey (Please fill out :D)

Hey! We are a group of high school students who came together due to one problem - our school water tastes BAD. Currently, we are doing market research and are trying to collect data on general water quality/taste issues at the school. If y'all could fill this form out so we could get some market data/research, that would be much appreciated!

Biology and PLTW biomedical science

Is there a lot of overlap between biology and PLTW biomedical sciences? Is it good to take it in the same year?

Biomed or engineering?

Im currently an upcoming high school freshman and I was wondering whether I should choose Biomed or Engineering. From what I heard biomed has a lot of chemistry which is one of my fav subjects, but I'm also not interested in becoming a doctor. For engineering the class seems good but nothing in it would be considered a favorite. which one should I pick?

EOC final Conversion

I took the PBS EOC a couple of days ago, and I got a 440, which came out to “Distinguished.” My school is using this as our final for the class, so I’m just wondering what that converts to out or 100? If anyone has even a rough idea, please let me know — I am a little freaked out about it lol.

Can I retake a PLTW EOC test?

I mixed up closed loops with open loops on my test. I also was not taught all of the curriculum in my IED and PED class. I was wondering if I could retake the tests without having to take the class again?

PLTW Engineering 3.3.1 My Surgical Hand

So for my Engineering class our final project is 3.3.1. I don't understand this at all, specifically how we're supposed to include coding into this project (Although again, nothing makes any sense to me or my team members). Any and all help would be appreciated!

Study resources for POE (legacy version)?

So my midterm for POE is coming up and there's some things I have not really understood some of the things going on. Does anyone have a good resource (website, notes, books, videos, etc) that could help me review for the midterm. We are currently up to 2.1.7, calculating truss forces. Thank you for the help.

Not planning on going into engineering. Is it worth continuing PLTW engineering over other APs not related to planned college major?

hi.

So basically I want to major in math+CS. I started the PLTW engineering pathway in freshman year, didn't take any PLTW eng classes sophomore year because it just didn't work out with the electives I wanted to take and required courses, and now junior year I'm signed up to take PLTW POE next semester. I'm also doing course registration for next year and considering potentially PLTW EDD.

So basically PLTW is not as rigorous and won't give me credit like APs, but I'm already taking all the APs that would directly fulfill requirements in college. I'm not sure exactly what I'd do instead of POE as it's a one-semester double class, but I could add a different one-semester double class like my school's algorithms and data structures (which I would be taking next year otherwise) and re-arrange next year. The alternative classes are APs which are STEM related but probably less related to my major than engineering, like AP bio or AP psych, and I could find other classes to fill slots if I needed to (AP Lang (I've already taken AP lit) or robotics maybe?). From a purely which class would I prefer standpoint, I am interested in bio and psych I'm more interested in engineering. EDD would definitely be fun because I've done a lot of long-term projects like that, but I'm not as sure about POE.

The other option would be to see if I could skip POE and go straight to EDD. That basically gives the options of doing neither POE nor EDD, taking POE but not EDD, taking both, and if I am successful convincing my counselor, taking just EDD. Thoughts?

P.S: With my first PLTW course, if you are curious what I thought of it to make more informed decisions, I thought it was kinda boring but we also had a really bad teacher who quit teaching the year after and now there's a different teacher who I've heard good things about.
