Design in Engineering Education

-cost and versatile hardware kit for a remote first-year mechanical engineering design classI. IntroductionEngineering design courses with hands-on laboratories are a critical component of an engineeringundergraduate curriculum. In particular, incorporating design courses early has been shown tohelp with retention rates in engineering, as well as with improved ability of students to solve open-ended problems [1, 2]. These courses have also shown student progress in academic achievementby helping to build confidence in their engineering skills, and by expanding their perspective onproblems and solutions [3, 4]. Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Design is an introductorylevel course, usually taken by
