The encouraging coursediscussions and student feedback received during Fall 2013 halfway into the semesterstrengthened the faculty belief in the software and systems integration effort and prompted theimplementation of the other proposed combined sections.

The potential to enhance first-year student learning motivated a pilot approach at a large university’s introductory engineeringclass to use graphical programming as the dominant computer tool within the class. Design wastaught through the use of a graphical programming language that culminated in a service-learning project in which students developed computer programs designed to excite middleschool students about math and science.

Clearly, projects such as these are central to developing the design, problem solving andproject management skills that are lacking in the traditional engineering coursework. Often miss-ing, however, in the industry and faculty sponsored design projects, is the spirit of invention, inno-vation and entrepreneurship. One way to promote the entrepreneurial spirit is to provide studentswith the opportunity to propose their own original enterprises.

In reality, there is a competition between theoretical content andpractical application that often compresses the design component of a course or lab into a verysmall portion of the work.Students are hungry for the practical experience and applications of the theoretical conceptspresented in class. In the days of discrete electronic components and repairable appliances manystudents came to engineering school with a strong background in practical problem solving,repair, and often design. Today, consumer appliances tend to be modular, integrated, anddisposable. Students rarely have experience building a simple electronic or mechanical device athome, and so they lack the framework
