A key to the student-centered process we took was to start from the perspective of howmany student contact hours each of our current (quarter) courses have–broken down by lectureand laboratory. When putting together options for the courses, we calculated the new studentcontact hours and compared them to the quarter hours. The accounting of hours is a moreaccurate representation of the conversion from quarter to semester and took out some of theuncertainty of the conversion. For example, the direct conversion of a 3-unit lecture quartercourse is a 2-unit lecture semester course (3 times 2/3). On the surface, a 2-unit course soundslike and can feel like a loss when in reality both have the same number of

This means that students will not be able to analyze realistic problems withpractical applications, which are inherently complicated, computationally expensive, and requirehigh-performance computing (HPC) clusters that take advantage of massive parallelization.

At theUniversity of Tennessee [3] the two first-year courses were redesigned in response torecommendations of an industrial advisory board and ABET. The result was a FYE programwhich was deemed the “Engage Program”. The first semester course was a non-calculus-basedapproach that focused on computer programming, graphic skills, and problem solving. Thesecond semester course focused more on calculus-based content with emphasis on statics anddynamics.

The design and construction of theRover is completed in three different laboratories located on the MTSU campus in the VoorhiesEngineering Technology building. More than 80% of the parts are designed and manufactured bythe students alone. This hands-on method is a great advantage for students to learn from theirmistakes and be equipped if any
