this topic has been covered.. but that thread seems pretty worn out so illl post here.

This is my 3rd year in PLTW. So far i have completed Introduction to Engineering Design, Digital Electronics, and currently am in Principles of Engineering and CIM. I love these clases, i think they are the best thing a high school could possibly offer.

ok so for the first year.. hmm... you start off learning basic sketching skills, on paper. You learn all the methods of making sketches for your designs. Then you start working in Inventor. You learn all the features of the program first, then move on to making single parts, assemblys, and eventually assemblies with driving constraints so you can actually see moving parts (ex. our class made a model train set where the train moved around the track.)

ya, i love it what can i say.
