What other PLTW classes are offered at your school? Civil Engineering and Architecture would be equally good at determining your interest. I’m assuming you’ve already taken IED and POE, have you also taken Engineering Design?

The PLTW courses are generally in addition to your core courses, not in place of them. PLTW courses are not generally available online, though you might get a teacher to allow you to complete the work as independent study (though I don’t think it would be the best idea). You don’t want to take either course online, because you think it will conflict with other commitments, but would you school allow you to have a study hall during which you could work on that class, or would they require you to fill that slot in your schedule with something else? If you do - what is that something else?
