Course description

This course incorporates many aspects of technology (engineering, design, tools, resources, technological processes, computer and technology, and technological systems). The history and evolution of technology is studied with various case studies involving management and impacts. Activities involve hands on problem solving based activities, data analysis, mathematical modeling, and scientific principles. Principles of Engineering reinforces many of the topics discussed in the PLTW Engineering courses of IED, POE, CIM, and DE as well as Physics. The course offers students the opportunity to relate many formulas to real applications during hands-on lab work. The course also involves a unit where the yearly Robotics challenge is discussed and the games scoring system is analyzed. Students also have an opportunity to use many tools and machines. The topic list is as follows: Basic Mathematics (Literal Equations, Statistical Measures, Unit Conversions, Decimal-Binary-Hexadecimal Conversion, etc.), Materials Properties (Stress, Strain, Elasticity, etc.), Introduction to Calculus (Integral Calculus Applications, Differential Calculus Applications), Electricity, Statics and Structures, Fluid Power, Engines, and Robotics.
