| Abstract | This evidence based practice describes the implementation of a two-quarter first-year engineering course, Introduction to Engineering, which provides an experiential learning experience to first year students focused on the engineering design process. Students complete two team based design projects, one per quarter, while using acquired skills in CAD, basic machining, and microprocessor programming to design, fabricate and test quadcopters. In addition, the course provides students with information on different engineering disciplines so they can make a more informed decision as to whether engineering is the right major. Student satisfaction was assessed at the end of each quarter. The impact of the course is evaluated through annual surveys to examine student motivation including student interests in engineering and the importance of teamwork. |
