Project Lead the Way Curriculum from the National Technology Training Center at R.I.09RegForm.pdfT.
was obtained for the following DHS High School Technology courses
Design and Drawing for Production (DDP)
Uses a design development process while enriching problem solving skills; students create and analyze models using specialized computer software.
Civil Engineering & Architecture (CEA)
Introduces students to the interdependent fields of civil engineering and architecture; students learn project planning, site planning, and building des ign.
Digital Electronics (DE)
Teaches applied logic through work with electronic circuitry, which students also construct and test for functionality.
Principles of Engineering (POE)
Explores technology systems and manufacturing processes; addresses the social and political consequences of technological change.
Engineering Design & Development (EDD)
Is a research course that requires students to formulate the solution to an open-ended engineering question. With a community mentor and skills gained in their previous courses, students create written reports on their applications, defend the reports, and submit them to a panel of outside reviewers at the end of the school year.
PLTW curriculum aligned with TC3 Dual Credit Options
Digital Electronic (TC3 ELEC 121)
PLTW's curriculum makes math and science relevant for students. By engaging in hands-on, real-world projects, students understand how the skills they are learning in the classroom can be applied in everyday life. This approach is called activities-based learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning or APPB-learning.
Research shows that schools practicing APPB-learning experience an increase in student motivation, an increase in cooperative learning skills and higher-order thinking, and an improvement in student achievement.
Activities are a method of instruction that involves directed teaching of a particular process or procedure. Activities engage students in learning skills that are later applied in more complex situations. Activities lead students to higher levels of learning.
