1st-year course in electrical and computerengineering recently developed and implemented at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Theprimary objective of the course is to engage students in authentic engineering work early in theiracademic careers. Previous studies have shown that student engagement often leads to increasedstudent retention rates in engineering programs. Moreover, including engineering work in the 1styear of a program often better prepares students for their subsequent and more advancedengineering courses.The project currently implemented consists of sensor and telemetry systems for high-altitudeballoons. Students are required to use the cricketsat design approach, which involves an electriccircuit with an output that changes

0.46-0.48: ‘describe calculation methods’, ‘estimate uncertainties in results’, and ‘explain routine data processing such as calibration corrections’. Weak positive correlations were seen with ‘justifying adjustments or corrections’ and ‘examining data for consistency’. An interesting result is that there was almost no effect for the behaviors ‘anticipate results from theory’ and ‘compare data to previous work or literature’. This may point to either a weakness in the curriculum in reinforcing these behaviors, or a lack of maturity and understanding on the part of the students at this point in their academic careers. One lab that stands out is Lab 6. This had a very low positive correlation for the total number

Students need more practicesolving complex real-world problems. It seems unnecessary to make students wait to start thispractice only after they have mastered basic math and science concepts.

This will give elementary students experience with the open-endedproblems of the engineering profession and the actual strategies that engineers use to solve theseproblems. Students gain an appreciation for engineering as rigorous, informed problem solving,rather than simply arts and crafts or the application of mathematics and science. Framingengineering this way may interest more students in engineering as a future career, particularlythose who are interested in problem solving but do not believe they are good at mathematics andscience.
