ENGINEERING DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT (EDD)
(Pre-Engineering Program)

Grade: 12

Duration: 2 Semesters

Prerequisite: IED and 2 other PLTW courses

Credit: 1.0

In Engineering Design and Development students will work in teams of two to four. Each team will design and
construct the solution to an engineering problem; (original/personal: “I hate it when…” taken from a database
of problems, or a national challenge) applying the principles developed in the preceding courses. Students will
maintain a journal as part of a portfolio of their work. Each team will be responsible for delivering progress
reports and making final presentations of their project to an outside review panel. The completed portfolio will
be invaluable as students apply to college.
