Course Overview
The knowledge and skills students acquire throughout PLTW Engineering come together in EDD as they identify an issue and then research, design, and test a solution, ultimately presenting their solution to a panel of engineers. Students apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standards, completing EDD ready to take on any post-secondary program or career.
Objectives
- Students create their own unique design solution from brainstorming to prototype. They will present their final solutions in front of a jury of Professionals from the community.
