How can I programatically select a drop down option using Ember?

Question

This is my sample drop down

<select name="newType" class="parts-select full-width-combo" onchange={{action "loadFilter" value="target.value" }}>
            <option value="" selected  hidden >Select </option>
            {{#each model as |item|}}
                <option value="{{item.id}}">{{item.description}}</option>
            {{/each}}
 </select>

from the relevant template action I wanted to set this selected item dynamically.

As an example it default selected by "Select" and then based on some button click on that page and need to set my selected option to other selected option to be selected. I am not using any plugin and I can't do it here.

You can use ember-truth-helpers' eq helper to set which option is selected. I believe I have coded what you are asking at this twiddle. See my-component.hbs about how I used eq helper to set selected attributes of each option.

By the way I suggest using ember-power-select for select box instead of trying to write your own select with options.
