The PLTW Pathway to Engineering program is a sequence of courses, which follows a proven hands-on, real-world problem-solving approach to learning. Throughout PTE, students learn and apply the design process, acquire strong teamwork and communication proficiency, and develop organizational, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills. They discover the answers to questions like - how are things made and what processes go into creating products? Students use the same industry-leading 3D design software used by companies like Intel, Lockheed Martin, and Pixar. They explore aerodynamics, astronautic, and space life sciences. They design, test, and actually construct circuits and devices such as smart phones and tablets, and work collaboratively on a culminating capstone project. It's STEM education at the heart of today's high-tech, high-skill global economy. Pathway to Engineering courses complement traditional mathematics and science courses.

The program is designed to prepare students to pursue a post-secondary education and careers in STEM-related fields.
