The Engineering Design and Development Capstone course at Monroe Township Highschool is the best class I have taken throughout my high school experience. The format of the class has allowed me to develop job skills such as collaboration, time management, problem solving, and presentation skills. On the more technical side I learned how to use VEX robotics parts in more depth, how to make a website using coding skills, and got hands-on experience as an engineer solving a real world problem that I was able to come up with myself. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking into the engineering field.

The PLTW Capstone class allowed me to apply everything I learned in and outside of my previous PLTW courses. I researched all about a new topic and the engineering that goes into it, learning new things along the way, so I could lay the groundwork for my prototype. Beyond building a novel prototype, I learned how to work effectively within a group.

PLTW Capstone is the penultimate of everything I’ve learned in engineering thus far. In this class, I applied the engineering design process to research, design and develop a prototype to solve a problem of my choosing. Through this process, I got insight to different skills as well as ethical concerns to consider in engineering, giving me insight to how life would be in my future as an engineer when designing and implementing projects
