PLTW Capstone: Engineering Design & Development

Engineering Design and Development (EDD) is the capstone course for the Project Lead the Way Engineering (PLTW) program and is appropriate for 12th grade students. Students use the knowledge and skills they have acquired through completion of other PLTW courses to identify an issue and then research, design and test a solution, and ultimately present their solution to a panel of engineers. The projects students complete will vary with student interest and the curriculum focuses on creative problem solving. Students will apply the professional skills they have developed to document a design process to standards. Completing EDD prepares students to take on any engineering-related post-secondary program or career. Students may take EDD concurrently with other PLTW courses.
