The questions i have are:
-whos heard of it?
-who has it in their school?
-what classes have you taken (if any)?
-also what experiance have you gotten from it?
-What would you say to others thinking about taking any of the classes?

Heres the website for PLTW http://www.pltw.org

-Introduction to Engineering and Design
-Principals of Engineering
-Was going to take Computer Integrated Manufacturing but they canceled it on us
-3D Modeling (dont remember if that was PLTW)
-Technical Drafting

From taking these classes (especially IED), i learned the Autodesk Inventor program and was able to complete an entry for this year's competition. From 3D modeling, i learned the 3D aspect of cad and learned some more visual thing that inventor offers. POE is an awesome class from what i hear (im taking it next year). They have made Rube Goldberg devices, mousetrap cars, and lots of cool interesting things. Technical Drafting really introduced me into drafting and taught me AutoCAD.
