Technology (Construction & Engineering)

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION - TECHNOLOGY
The curriculum of the CTE Technology Program has received endorsement by the NY State Department of Education and students completing a 4 unit/credit sequence of study (examples outlined below) will allow students to be eligible to graduate with a special endorsement in either Construction or Pre-Engineering on their diploma, which helps graduates obtain admission to many postgraduate tech programs as well as give them a competitive advantage in the world of work.
 
Articulation Agreements are available at SUNY Alfred and SUNY Delhi (Construction Tech) and Rochester
Institute of Technology (Pre-Engineering).

Project Lead the Way: Engineering Program www.pltw.org

Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is a partnership between PYA and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The
program introduces high school students to the academics, equipment, and processes they will encounter in a
college engineering program. Students will be given the opportunity to earn credit hours in the following college
level courses:

Design & Drawing for Production
Digital Electronics
Principles of Engineering
Computer Integrated Manufacturing
Civil Engineering 
Architecture
Students who earn a final average of 85% or above in each class and have taken the PLTW EoC exam given at the end of each course are eligible to apply for RIT credit. Cost is payable upon receipt of grade for credit. The tuition rate is $225 per course. Presently, the deadline for submitting an application to RIT for college credit is
November 1st for courses completed the previous school year.
The transcripted grade from RIT is based solely on the EoC exam score.
