Northeast Early College High School – Computer Integrated Manufacturing (Pltw)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (PLTW) is designed to build upon the computer solid modeling design skills developed in the Introduction to Engineering Design. Students will be presented with design problems that require the use of Mechanical Desktop to develop solutions to the problems. They will evaluate the solutions using mass property analysis (study of the relationship among the design, function and materials used), make appropriate modifications and use rapid prototyping equipment to produce three-dimensional models of the solutions. Students will be expected to communicate the process and results of their work through oral and written reports.
