“To the entering enthusiastic student, engineering is a creative endeavor that involves invention/design using technical skills and gadgets. The disappointment occurs when the student begins an engineering program with expectations of similar experiences only to be barraged with a variety of difficult and seemingly irrelevant and unrelated courses. Even students who do not leave engineering are somewhat disillusioned by the rigor without the satisfaction of engaging in creative engineering activities.” “Another problem results from the unfortunate fact that most students enter engineering programs with little idea of what engineering is or how a practicing engineer functions.”

“The following specific course goals were developed within the context of the primary objective and central issues discussed above: . To introduce students to the engineering discipline. •To introduce students to engineering design and analysis methods. . To make clear to the students that an engineer must possess a variety of skills beyond technical competence, including 1) professional responsibility, 2) excellent written and oral communication skills, 3) the ability to work both independently and as part of a team and 4) creativity. . To build bridges between the mathematics, science, and social science/humanities courses. . To help undecided students select the engineering subfield that best matches their individual talents, desires and goals.

“Assessment activities were considered to be an essential component of planning, improving and evolving the course, satisfying the major departments, best serving the students, and ensuring that all those affected by the course had an opportunity to comment officially. The assessment activities obviously also fulfill ABET 2000 [1] requirements.”

1. ABET 2000 is an assessment-based program that allows each engineering department to develop their own plan for their undergraduate program. This plan must adhere to ABET's general guidelines but can vary significantly from one institution to another. Each program must produce their own set of objectives and outcomes and establish an assessment program that measures how well the outcomes are being met by the program. Program deficiencies discovered in the assessment process should be corrected by modifying the curriculum or by revising the assessment plan.

“The project is structured so the following traits of the engineering profession are introduced and put into practice immediately in each student’s academic career: . Engineers generally work in groups. . Engineering problems are open-ended and multidisciplinary. . There is a well-defined approach to solving engineering problems. . Engineering is a creative discipline constrained by the laws of nature. . The borders between engineering disciplines are not rigid. . Engineers learn from failure. . Effective communication skills are essential for engineers.”
