Welcome to the Purdue University Project Lead The Way website. The Project Lead The Way pre-engineering/engineering technology program is being offered in over 2200 schools this coming year, including school districts in 49 states from Maine to California. Indiana is second only to New York in the number of schools participating in the program. Over 230 Indiana schools are currently involved with Project Lead The Way. In Indiana, Project Lead The Way courses are technology education course offerings as designated by the Indiana Department of Education.

Project Lead The Way has developed a four-year sequence of technology education courses which, when combined with college preparatory mathematics and science courses in high school, introduces students to the scope, rigor, and discipline of engineering and engineering technology prior to entering college. The Project Lead The Way technology education curriculum addresses the educational needs of students planning to attend a two-year or four-year college leading to a career in engineering or engineering technology. A detailed description of these courses can be viewed on the national Project Lead The Way link provided.

In addition to the Project Lead The Way high school technology education curriculum, Project Lead The Way provides a middle-level technology education program. This exploratory curriculum focuses on design, electronics, automation, and engineering mechanics. The curriculum is hands-on and directly articulates to the high school Project Lead The Way course sequence and the Indiana technology education curriculum.

Our website is designed to provide students, parents, teachers, and school administrators information on Indiana Project Lead The Way. I hope that the site will help you gain more information on Project Lead The Way.
