A career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (S.T.E.M.) is challenging and ever-changing. Learners who pursue one of these career fields will be involved in planning, managing, and providing scientific research and professional and technical services (e.g., physical science, social science, engineering) including laboratory and testing services, and research and development services. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) includes a three year sequence of courses which introduces students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering and engineering technology prior to entering college. Introduction at this level will allow high school students to determine if engineering is the career they desire. Students participating in PLTW courses are better prepared for college engineering programs and more likely to be successful, thus reducing the attrition rate in these college programs, which currently exceeds 50% nationally. The Technology Student Association (TSA), the student organization for students enrolled in S.T.E.M, is an avenue by which leadership, citizenship, and technical skills are integrated into the instructional program. Leadership training is provided through curriculum activities in which students learn to conduct and participate constructively in organized meetings, speak effectively before groups, work cooperatively with others, solve problems, and compete as individuals. TSA assists students in the achievement of technologically related competencies in the areas of bio-related technology, communication, engineering, electronics, graphics, design, manufacturing, and research and development.
