face challenges transitioning fromhigh school to college due to higher academic expectations. In addition to the registrationprocess, financial aid application and tuition requirements, there are other aspects of collegeadmission that add to the challenges for students. For engineering students, the academicchallenges arise due to lack of technical and problem-solving skills that are required for higherlevel mathematics, science and introductory engineering coursework. Many higher educationinstitutions have developed their first-year engineering curriculum with a broad perspective thatwelcomes students and allow them to explore options for choosing their majors. Even though thefirst-year curriculum is fundamental, students seem to find the

programming skills. Other disciplines adopted such courses more slowly.Consequently, the topic of this paper is not new.As Rasdorf 1 indicates, in the late 1970’s, civil engineering programs began to embrace the ideaof including computer programming classes in their undergraduate curricula. The argument was,in part, that “students must be prepared to use computer methods and applications as a part oftheir fundamental education. It is the responsibility of colleges and universities to incorporatecontemporary computing fundamentals into their academic curriculum to improve theprofessional qualifications of their engineering graduates. These graduates will in turn be able toprovide their increasingly important expertise to both the engineering

There is the classical definition thatengineers use science to solve problems. Most programs have come to recognize that this is anoversimplification of the engineering discipline. The students are taught that engineers have toconsider many elements that go beyond the physical sciences and mathematics. There are theadditional, broader issues of economics, politics, environment, health, safety, quality, ethics,culture and other contemporary issues.Along with an understanding of general engineering
