pltw

i am a junior-going to take pltw civil engineering and architecture. I loved intro to engineering but POE, not so much. I didn’t like the physics part very much. Anyway, i was wondering if civil engineering and architecture will be more like IED or POE?

I’ve taken both IED and POE, but I haven’t taken CEA, from what I’ve heard and seen of the curriculum though, it appears to be more similar to IED. It would probably be best to ask people at your school who have experience in the course what it’s like, they will be able to tell you about the teacher and the course. Make sure to ask several students including students who weren’t fond of POE.

CEA is lighter on math/physics than POE. In CEA, you focus the design process and Revit. It is also more projected based, if that’s one of the things you liked about IED. I definitely enjoyed CEA over POE. Good luck!
