ENGINEERING & BIOMEDICAL: PLTW CURRICULUM<br />
About Project Lead The Way<br />
Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is a leading provider of rigorous and innovative<br />
Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education curricular<br />
programs used in middle and high schools across the U.S.<br />
More than 400,000 students in over 4,700 programs in all 50 states and the District<br />
of Columbia are taking PLTW courses. In addition, PLTW has trained more than<br />
10,500 teachers to instruct its engaging, rigorous STEM education curriculum.<br />
Project Lead The Way and Vernier<br />
Over the years, Vernier has developed a strong partnership with Project Lead The<br />
Way. We value their mission to prepare students to become the most innovative and<br />
productive in the world.<br />
By providing a comprehensive curriculum package based on national standards,<br />
focusing on teacher training, and integrating Vernier technology, the PLTW<br />
biomedical and engineering programs are extremely valuable for schools integrating<br />
hands-on, project-based STEM.<br />

BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES<br />
The PLTW Biomedical Sciences (BMS)<br />
Program is a sequence of high school<br />
courses, all aligned with appropriate<br />
national learning standards, which<br />
follows a proven hands-on, real-world,<br />
problem-solving approach to learning.<br />
Students explore the concepts of human<br />
medicine and are introduced to topics<br />
such as physiology, genetics, microbiology<br />
and public health.<br />
BMS courses complement traditional<br />
science courses and can serve as the<br />
foundation for STEM-centered or<br />
specialized academies. The program is<br />
designed to prepare students to pursue<br />
a post-secondary education and careers<br />
in the biomedical sciences.<br />
PATHWAY TO ENGINEERING<br />
PLTW’s Pathway To Engineering (PTE)<br />
curriculum is designed to span all<br />
four years of high school. Courses<br />
are centered on activities that are<br />
hands-on and project-based. Students<br />
explore engineering topics such<br />
as aerodynamics, biomechanics,<br />
manufacturing and alternative<br />
energy; and apply math, science, and<br />
engineering concepts using a design<br />
process to solve real-world problems.<br />
