Engineering Design and Development (EDD)

EDD is the capstone course in the Project Lead The Way® (PLTW) high school engineering pathway. It is an open-ended engineering research course in which students work in teams to design and develop an original solution to a well-defined and justified open-ended problem by applying an engineering design process. Students will research select problem, define design requirements, create and test their solution prototype. Students will also work with industry experts and will continually hone their organizational, communication and interpersonal skills, their creative and problem-solving abilities, and their understanding of the design process.
