Making a Difference in Students’ Lives

High school graduates

who participated in PLTW

were nearly three times

as likely to major in

STEM, and 3 to 4 times

more likely to study

engineering, versus non-

PLTW graduates.

PLTW students are more

prepared for and

attended higher

education institutions at

a higher rate and scored

higher on the state’s

mathematics

assessment.

Many engineering

universities report high

and increasing levels of

PLTW student

enrollment.

PLTW contributes to a strong, positive impact on mathematics and science

achievement and offers a pathway to prepare and motivate students to enter

careers in science and engineering.

Recent studies have shown:
