I get PLTW is a good course for people with little engineering background and who want to learn the basics. However, for someone who is pursuing a technical engineering field, the course is probably not too useful if you can do robotics instead ... Or motivate yourself to do it at home.
This is what saddens me. IT is great that it has spread to 40 states from just 2 schools, but what i dont think is cool is the degree it is different from one school to anotther, i guess also with schools dont always have teachers that can be well prepared to teach some of the classes. I would say i have a good backround in engineering and things but from the staudents that have gone through the course in our school, the brother school to the originating school, the students still use their notes and notebooks from classes like POE and things in their junior and senior year in college for mechanical engineering, so i guess some schoolls dont teach as in depth as others do.
