About the program
The Orange Engineering and Design Academy (OEDA) is a 4 year program for any student in Orange County Schools (OCS) interested in pursuing careers in engineering. Students are placed in a grade level cohort, taking Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Engineering and core subject classes together.
