design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, welfare,as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors” whereas the ANSAConly requires that the design must meet “desired needs.” With this in mind, we haveimplemented a project that is completed by students at the end of the second semester ofintroductory physics where students are required to follow engineering design principles todesign and build simple speakers that must meet given specifications. In this paper, we discussthe details of the student project specifications, the rubric developed to assess the studentprojects, and show select student projects from the first two cohorts assigned this project.Additionally, we
