Pre-College Education

Project Lead The Way

The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) are affiliated organizations within the CCEFP. NFPA funded Project Lead The Way to include fluid power in several of its high school and middle school curriculum modules. Faculty from CCEFP and engineers from CCEFP member companies serve as subject matter experts for PLTW, reviewing curriculum relevant to fluid power and identifying opportunities where new content can be inserted. CCEFP faculty and students are working with PLTW to develop the hands-on fluid power lab activities to complement the PLTW curriculum. In addition, CCEFP faculty participate in PLTW summer Teacher Training Institutes and PLTW teachers participate in the CCEFP RET program. (www.pltw.org)
