Engineering
Engineering courses at ECTC utilize the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum. Instruction follows a hands-on, real-world, problem-solving approach to learning. Students learn to apply the design process, acquire teamwork skills, develop communication proficiency, and hone organizational and critical thinking skills.
