Full Paper: A Systems Engineering Approach to Conceptual Design in a 1st-Year Engineering Program1st-year engineering students engage in three projects over the course of the fall and springsemesters. In the fall semester students build, test, and present at an exposition an Arduino-basedgame. While students are provided the design for the game, they are strongly encouraged tomake creative modifications. Following this, students complete a reverse engineering activity ona simple household appliance or medical device. The result is a CAD model of the device and adetailed report, typically of about 40 – 50 pages. Students work in teams of three or four on bothprojects.In the spring semester work consists of a

In this two-semester course sequence, students are introducedto sustainability concepts during instruction in chemical process formulation and processsimulation (Design II). Subsequently, students are further instructed on this topic during theirsemester-long senior design project (Design III) course. For the senior design experience,students are required to form into groups of four and complete a senior design project thatinvolves process simulation, using Aspen Plus software, and cost estimation of a chosenchemical process.

On oneextreme of this spectrum are fully cooperative experiences in which the team works togethertowards a common goal. This extreme is defined by a single shared experience. On the otherextreme are “divide-and-conquer” projects. Here a team assigns each individual separate taskswhich each contribute to a shared team goal. Such approaches—an example is the jigsawteaching technique—are defined by unique experiences for each individual.

The design experience is progressive, requiring each successive subsystem to be incorporated without disturbing previously completed subsystems. Furthermore, the design experience is based on a learning approach that motivates student learning and develops skills required by the student in a future professional capacity. These skills include designing to specification, teamwork, communication, and lifelong
