Thecourse aims to provide an introduction to product design with an emphasis on the tools, standardsand methods used for product and part representation, specifications and measurements. Itinvolves hands-on learning and exercises in CAD and metrology laboratories. The class includeslectures, quizzes, laboratory assignments and reports, a CAD modeling project, exams, and in-class participation. The course content covers three main parts: product design and specification,dimensioning and tolerancing, and metrology. Product design and specification focuses on theproduct design process and basics of engineering

graduation. As such, the freshman year is filled with calculus and physics courses that arehighly theoretical and provide no logical connection to the engineering that lies ahead.5 Theremainder of freshman courses tend to be general education or other courses even further removedfrom engineering because students do not yet have the prerequisites to take standard engineeringcourses. As a result, students do not get to interact with engineering faculty, or experience hands-on laboratories or understand engineering as a profession. The result is often a higher than desiredattrition rate.Because so many engineering courses have adopted a freshman experience, the published literatureis abundant, especially through ASEE conference papers and the Journal
