This paper presents our study with differentlab delivery formats, including preparation, implementation, survey data, observations, andfindings.Course BackgroundIntroduction to Engineering in our institution is a 3 credit course. The course includes one 1-hourlecture, and two 2-hour labs/week. In the lecture, students develop the skills needed during theirstudy of engineering. Topics include task/time management, effective use of notes, engineeringresearch, oral and written communications, problem-solving techniques, ethics and professionalresponsibility and institute resources. In the laboratory, students work in teams to complete avariety of engineering tasks.Each class is set to 85 students maximum. The lecture is held at a

Redesigning ‘Foundations of Engineering’ Course As evident from the literature review teaching should combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, while understanding its social, cultural, and ethical implications on learning. This philosophy involves going beyond classroom-type, lecture- based education, and emphasize practical skills in real world projects. In general, first year engineering students are fascinated by how industrial products are made and are curios regarding novel methods for making products.

Depending on the focus of the questions, thestudents may be more motivated to investigate the subject matter, may gain a deeperunderstanding of course concepts, or may improve their skills through hands-on experience usingthe knowledge in problem solving and design derived from the exercises. There are many waysof using class exercises in the classroom setting. For a small class size, the teacher may simplyuse an exercise to engage students in discussion and hands-on practice. For larger classes, thestudents can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as an instrument leading togroup projects.
