Aerospace Engineering in the Classroom: The Project Lead The Way Model

摘要

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is changing the emphasis in classrooms by engaging middle and high school students with hands-on real-world activities, projects, and problems to solve. In the process, students learn to apply knowledge that they will retain beyond the test and integrate academic learning into real life. This teaching methodology is applied to the PLTW Aerospace Engineering course as part of a Pathway to Engineering (PTE) available to high school students across the nation.
