Capstone Course (1)
Honors Engineering Design & Development (EDD) Completion of the following courses with a 70% or higher: PLTW
IED, POE, and CIM OR CAD, Robotics, and Advanced Robotics. This course is the capstone course in the PLTW high
school engineering program. It is an engineering research course in which students work in teams to design and develop
an original solution to a valid open-ended technical problem by applying the engineering design process. This course
applies and develops secondary level knowledge and skills in mathematics, science, and technology.

Prerequisite(s): None Open to Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12
Career Cluster(s): Architecture and Construction Information Technology
Education and Training Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
Description: Introduction to Engineering Design is a year-long introductory course that develops students’ problem-
solving and critical-thinking skills and emphasizes the concepts of developing three-dimensional models and solid
renderings of an object. Students focus on the application of visualization processes and tools provided by current, state-
of-the-art computer hardware and software programs. IED emphasizes the design-development process of a product and
how a product model is produced, analyzed, and evaluated, using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) System. Various
design applications and possible career opportunities are explored and discussed in detail.
