yourlearning?” This project has been an obvious fit for our curriculum as college faculty have been taskedwith incorporating engineering design in more courses before the students take their capstone seniordesign experience.At DU, we believe the Engineering for People Design Challenge is a great way to accomplish many ofour engineering goals. First, it allows us to introduce the design process to freshmen. We expect thesefreshmen to thus be better prepared for our more advanced junior and senior design project courses.Second, this project really helps to motivate many of our students to stick withengineering. Often, courses in the first two years of engineering are not very applied and some studentslose interest. Seeing how engineering can help solve

Timothy Hinds First-Year Engineering CoRe Experience Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 sarkarde@msu.edu, hinds@msu.edu IntroductionEngineers are global communicators. Our first-year engineering students write and present technicalreports, lab reports, capstone projects, formal emails, posters, elevator pitches and more, tocommunicate their technical knowledge globally to a wide variety of audiences. They are required topresent information as concisely and objectively as possible. Although the importance ofcommunication may seem self-evident, our students need to be more motivated to

Estell is also a founding member and current Vice President of The Pledge of the Computing Professional, an organization dedicated to the promotion of ethics in the computing professions. Estell is Professor of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio Northern University, where he currently teaches first-year programming and user interface design courses, and serves on the college’s Capstone Design Committee. Much of his research involves design education pedagogy, including for- mative assessment of client-student interactions, modeling sources
