Garcia High School partners with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) to bring a high quality national Engineering curriculum to students.  PLTW focuses on problems-based learning designed to prepare students for STEM careers that will tackle the problems of tomorrow.  Garcia teachers use their own experise to modify and deliver the PLTW curriculum to best engage students.

Introduction to Engineering Design (IED)

Students dig deep into the engineering design process, applying math, science, and engineering standards to hands-on projects like designing a new toy or improving an existing product.

Principles of Engineering (POE)

Students explore a broad range of engineering topics including mechanisms, strength of structure and materials, and automation, and then they apply what they know to take on challenges like designing a self-powered car.

Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA)

Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development, and then they apply what they know to design a commercial building.

Engineering Design and Development (EDD)

Students identify a real-world challenge and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their unique solutions to a panel of engineers.
