How might colleges assess the rigor of the pre-engineering courses?

Four of the present five PLTW courses are similar to courses taken in many colleges. These courses have been designed by educators in colleges/universities and high schools. Samples of the curriculum may be reviewed on this website.

 The end-of-course exam and college credit exam for these courses, designed by college professors and PLTW master teachers, meet the standards of Rochester Institute of Technology and of our Affiliate Training Centers in the nation's leading colleges and universities. Students who earn transcripted college credit have achieved an 85% average in these high school courses, received a 70% or higher on the college credit exams, and have completed a portfolio of their course work.

PLTW has a professional evaluation agency assess the effectiveness of the program each year.
The Board of Directors represents some of the nation's leaders in education, business, and engineering; they are committed to meeting all of our challenging strategic goals.
