What we do
ENGINEERING AND ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (Grades 9-12)
The Engineering program is designed to prepare Students for post-secondary engineering and Engineering technology programs. The District 219 Engineering Coursework utilizes the nationally recognized pre-engineering curriculum Project Lead the Way (PLTW) which offers imaginative and innovative learning and career exploration.
• PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING POE-PLTW (9-12)
• INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN IED-PLTW (10-12)

The D219 engineering program provides rigorous and innovative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education with a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and real-world problem solving. The engineering program centers on hands-on, real-world projects that help students understand how the information and skills they are learning in the classroom could be applied in everyday life.
In line with the District 219 Board of Education Goal of Advancing and Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Niles Township High Schools continue to expand the engineering / engineering technology curriculum and course offerings.
