How Do I Help Students Prepare?
• What will students actually be evaluated on? Is there a
rubric?
• What is the Innovation Portal? Why use it for submission?
• Why and how should I use the Innovation Portal in my class
• New tools for your EDD classroom.
An Engineering Design Process
• The award goes to the team that best presents an authentic
and well documented design process.
(not necessarily which prototype actually worked…)
• EDD is about process, not only the solution.
A well done EDD project should show evidence of:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Project Management Skills
Research
Design
Prototyping and Testing
Reflection and Stakeholder Feedback
Professional Skills and Communication Skills
An Engineering Design Process
An Engineering Design Process
The “Grand Pitfalls” of EDD:
• No Research - It has clearly been done before, you just
never bothered to find out or worse, chose not to disclose.)
• One Design - Never exploring options other than the first
thing you thought of. No diversity.
• Craftsmanship - It does matter. Seek expert help if you are
not a master craftsman. They can teach you.
• Poor Testing - A good project will have qualitative testing.
Testimonials are not testing.
• Reflection and Stakeholder Feedback – Is there any? Are
your experts really experts?
• Professional Skills and Communication Skills
The EDPPSR
The Engineering Design Process Portfolio Scoring Rubric.
• Used for online qualification scoring.
• A simplified one page rubric will be used at competition to
determine the winner based on the EDPPSR
Why Should I be using the EDPPSR in my EDD Classroom?
• Common Language for Engineering Design.
• Developed by Post-Secondary and Industry.
• “AP Engineering May Be on the Horizon”

• Completing 3rd year of 3 year validation study (NSF)
• New alignment of PLTW EDD curriculum resources to match
the language and structure of the assessment rubric.
The EDPPSR and PLTW EDD Curriculum
Always work with the end in sight…
Instructional resources on the LMS
now match the assessment tool.

Best Practices in EDD
• Introduce students to the EDPPSR early on. It creates a
common language and a target for student to shoot for.
• Help your students develop a meaningful project name that is
engineering or scientific in nature.
• This is not an “invention” or “marketing course”. No silly
names.
• It is okay for the project name to “evolve”.
• Don’t label projects “My EDD Project”.
• Introduce student to the Innovation Portal early on and make
sure the students provide enough context for the reviewer.
Does the judge have enough information to score the page?
• Don’t attach a ppt.
• Don’t create a page with nothing but links.
• 3-5 paragraphs.
