Project Lead The Way Engineering Program


St. Dominic Savio first and second year engineering students & their teacher, Ms. Saniuk, after becoming a Certified PLTW School, March 29, 2011.

St. Dominic Savio is a Project Lead the Way certified school.  Students enrolled in the STEM pathway will take a series of Project Lead the Way Pathway to Engineering courses designed to expose students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation. PLTW courses give students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-, project-, and problem-based (APPB) learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, APPB-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.
