Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph. A set S ⊆ V(G) is a strong edge geodetic set if there exists an assignment of exactly one shortest path between each pair of vertices from S, such that these shortest paths cover all the edges E(G). The cardinality of a smallest strong edge geodetic set is the strong edge geodetic number sge(G) of G. In this paper, the strong edge geodetic problem is studied on the Cartesian product of two paths. The exact value of the strong edge geodetic number is computed for Pn \square P2, Pn \square P3 and Pn \square P4. Some general upper bounds for sge(Pn \square Pm) are also proved.
