Description : An independent study course for graduates of the Project Lead The Way® “Introduction to Engineering Design” Summer Training Institute.  Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is an eight-course national high school program that centers on developing better problem-solving skills by immersing students in real-world engineering problems. Students explore technology systems and engineering processes to find out how mathematics, science, and technology help people.  Introduction to Engineering Design is one of these courses and the Summer Training Institute prepares teachers for teaching this course to high school students. This UIC graduate course builds upon Project Lead the Way teacher training institutes by providing participants the opportunity to experience the engineering design process from product conception to prototype design.
