NEDC at JETS – Junior Engineering Technical Society
High School Students Making a Difference! The JETS’ National Engineering Design Challenge (NEDC) is a competition educating young people about careers in engineering, raising social awareness, and inspiring a spirit of engagement and a willingness to help others.
NEDC helps high school students learn first-hand how engineering can make a positive difference in someone’s life. NEDC is a team competition in which students use their creativity…problem solving … math … science … research … writing … presentation and drafting/design skills to create a real-life assistive technology (AT) device to help individuals with disabilities succeed in the workplace and achieve independence in their lives.
