Course Description:

PLTW’s Aerospace Engineering (AE) is a high school-level, project-based course that explores the fundamentals of aeronautics and astronautics. Students engage in real-world engineering challenges through hands-on activities and simulations, gaining insight into the science and mechanics of flight. From designing airfoils and building gliders to simulating orbital trajectories and programming remote-controlled vehicles, learners investigate the physics of flight and the engineering processes behind aerospace systems. This course prepares students for postsecondary engineering, aviation, and space sciences pathways while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
