same ABET Accreditation category as ours -“Engineering (Bachelor of Science)”A review of the projects reported in the literature associated with first-year engineering designcourses reveals fairly good consensus on several elements. Not surprisingly, most design projectsprovide a problem statement for the students to start with (i.e. they are not tasked withidentifying a need) [2-16, 18-19, 21-26]. Providing a problem statement addresses studentinexperience with the EDP. On the other hand, the few projects that require students to identify aneed naturally focus on entrepreneurship [1-2, 5, 17, 20].

The blocking factor score for Course A is the number of courses that a studentcannot enroll in (i.e., they are “blocked”) if the student does not pass Course A. The delay factorscore for Course A is the number of prerequisite courses in the longest prerequisite pathway thatincludes Course A. The cruciality of Course A within the degree program is found by addingCourse A’s blocking factor and delay factor scores.
