Re: Thoughts on Project Lead The Way

I hate it!

What do you like/dislike about the program? That students get to learn about engineering software.
What do you think could be improved? The cirriculum. IT requires you to learn everything yet nothing at the same time. YOU CAN"T TEST OUT OF ANYTHING. YOU CAN"T WORK AHEAD. And you don't learn enough... We learned how to make a train by the end of the year and that was pretty useless information since we already knew about constraints and desiging parts by than.

What do you feel your students get from it? Those who care about the class and want to learn engineering, Nothing. For slackers who want a tech credit, its awesome.
