Students with Disabilities
The Re-authorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the implementation of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) require that schools use more inclusive practices for educating students with disabilities. The implementation of inclusive practices across CMS has created an environment where schools can successfully provide academic instruction and improve achievement for students with disabilities. The Exceptional Children’s Department will continue to provide increased access to the general curriculum with continued support from EC modifications/accommodations and EC Study Skills classes for these students with disabilities.
PLTW MISSION STATEMENT:
We will create dynamic partnerships with our nation's schools to prepare an increasing and more diverse group of students to be successful in engineering and engineering technology programs.
TEACHER'S MISSION STATEMENT:
My mission is to prepare our students for success in a society influenced by technology. My vision is that all students can/will acquire the attitude, knowledge, and skill, necessary for success in school, in the workplace, and in life.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) is a high school honors course that is appropriate for 9th or 10th grade students, who are interested in design and engineering. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to design process, engineering standards, research and analysis, technical documentation, global and human impacts, communication methods and teamwork. IED gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through hands on activities, project-, and problem-Based (APB) learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, APB-learning challenges students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education. Students will utilize a 3D solid modeling design software package to help them design solutions to solve proposed problems. Students will develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solution(s) to various challenges that increase in difficulty throughout the course. Students will learn how to document their work and communicate their solution to their peers and members of the professional community.
PRE-REQUISITE / REQUIREMENTS:
It is strongly suggested by PLTW that all students be on grade level math and science. It is highly recommended by PLTW that all students taking this course had made at least an 85% in both math & science the last time they took them. It is also recommended that the student be concurrently enrolled in college preparatory mathematics and science.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: is a high-school-level specialization course in the PLTW Engineering Program. In CEA students are introduced to important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3D architectural design software. Using the activity-project-problem-based (APB) teaching and learning pedagogy, students will progress from completing structured activities to solving open-ended projects and problems that require them to develop planning, documentation, communication, and other professional skills.Through both individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems, students will solve problems as they practice common design and development protocols, such as project management and peer review. Students will develop skill in engineering calculations, technical representation and documentation of design solutions according to accepted technical standards, and use of current 3D architectural design and modeling software to represent and communicate solutions.
PRE-REQUISITE / REQUIREMENTS:
It is strongly suggested by PLTW that all students be on grade level math and science. It is highly recommended by PLTW that all students taking this course had made at least an 85% in both math & science the last time they took them.
