“The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced vocational students (up more than three-fold in the last five years), the majority of whom are in science and engineering. China will produce 325,00 engineers this year. That’s five times as many as the U.S. where the number of engineers has been declining since the early 1980’s. It is hard to imagine American enthusiasm for engineering sinking lower. Forty percent of all students who enter universities on the engineering track change their minds.”
“The Chinese Century,” Ted C. Fishman, The New York Times Magazine, July 4, 2004

Facts
Only 20% of 12th grade students are considered proficient in math on the NAEP assessment.
Just 3% of Blacks and 4% of Hispanics reach proficient by the 12th grade.
By 2010 30% of 18-24 year olds will be white.

FactsFrom 1988 until 1998 B.S. degrees were down by:
14% in engineering
22% in computer science
26% in mathematics Science and engineering jobs will
grow over the next decade.Student achievement rates are same as 30 years
ago.

Facts Continued
Counselors have been ignored in the educational reform movement.
Science and engineering jobs will grow over the next decade.
NAB’s newsletter headline: “Skilled Workforce Shortage Could Cripple U.S Economy”
In 2001 Michigan imported 2,200 foreign technical workers.

The Solution is to…

Make a small change in the culture of American high schools by:
Strengthening the core academic curricula. Adding a rigorous, technical program of
study in pre-engineering leading to 2 & 4 year postsecondary degrees.
![Page 18: “The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d635503460f94a465ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Studies from HSTW and Making School Work conclude that….
Student achievement rises even more when students take a challenging
academic core and a rigorous academic or career/technical
concentration of at least four credits.

How will the PLTW curriculum challenge
students to meet higher academic
standards ?

Beverage Container Design Problem Design a beverage container that will hold 12.5 fluid ounces, .25 oz. Prior to using the computer, sketch the top and front view using the correct dimensions to acquire the required volume. Show all your math calculations. Using the computer design tool, apply good design criteria of function and aesthetic value to solve this problem. (The formula used will depend on the shape of the interior volume and the students’ math ability.)
![Page 30: “The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d635503460f94a465ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Truncated Cone Volume Solution
1. Assign a value to RAB
2. Assign a value to HAB
3. Find the volume of cone(AB) VAB
4. In the front view, sketch the profile of the container using the above assigned values.
5. Use the dimension function to find the length of RB
6. Find the volume of cone (B) VB
7. Plug the values of VAB and VB into the formula VA= VAB - VB. This will give the volume of the truncated cone (A).
*Note: If you move the position of RB up or
down, it will change the volume of the truncated cone (A).

Exposure to Real Engineering
The PLTW classes are modeled after
beginning engineering courses taught
at the university level.
The student gains first hand
experience about the different facets
of engineering and discover where
their strengths lay.

Counselors start their students on the road to a good job.
65% of the jobs in the America require a technical skill.
What kind of jobs are your students being prepared for?

Counselor’s Role
Understand PLTW’s strategic goals.
Understand PLTW’s standards based curriculum.
Understand PLTW’s project based curriculum.
Understand how students earn college credit for PLTW classes

Guidance Practices Increases Achievement when
Students are encouraged to take challenging mathematics and science courses Students are assisted in planning a program of study by the end of grade nine Parents are involved Students are provided information on postsecondary education and employment
![Page 66: “The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d635503460f94a465ab/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Students and Technical Training
Students are intimidated by engineering and engineering technology.
Minorities and females often see engineering as a career for someone else.
PLTW can help students see the value of math and science.
![Page 67: “The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d635503460f94a465ab/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Why are these things important
Introduce students to careers that they may not have ever considered.
Students are less likely to fall victim to peer pressure in terms of courses they take.
College credit helps to boost students confidence.
![Page 68: “The Chinese government is pouring resources into creating the world’s largest army of industrialists. China has 17 million university and advanced.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d635503460f94a465ab/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
How important is the college credit?
Not that important—most kids in PLTW don’t apply for the college credit.
What is important is what it does for the kids confidence.
Where else can a 9th grade student earn college credit?
Kids find out early on that they have what it take to be successful in college.
