WHY YOU ARE HERE
Welcome to the class and to the T-STEM academy! Engineering is a tremendous passion of mine, and I
hope to spark a lifelong love of science, math and technology learning in each of you. This class is one of
the culminating courses bringing together topics and skills that you’ve learned in prior PLTW classes and
new applications in the manufacturing environment. The course will survey manufacturing systems and
tools including prototyping, subtractive manufacturing, robotics, and computer aided design and
manufacturing. Regardless of what you do after high school, this course will give you skills that EVERY
employer finds important and that will help shape the most successful version of YOU.
WHAT WE WILL COVER
