Undergraduate Student Administered SolidWorks ModuleIntroductionThe overall course goals of most first-year engineering design courses are to introducestudents to a design process through hands-on learning activities, to gain experience ingraphical communication using software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Pro Engineer,and to inspire and instill an appreciation for the engineering profession, its ethics, andpractices. At Northeastern University where experiential education is at the forefront oflearning there is a common first-year curriculum for all majors in engineering. Thiscommon first year makes it difficult to provide the student with all the tools needed fortheir first cooperative educational experience (co-op). Students enter

Pre-college education, in particular, is lagging well behind its mandate to educate all children tohigher standards especially in areas that prepare students for science, technology, engineering,and mathematics [1]. Therefore, developing educational practices and settings in our K-12classroom becomes extremely important; especially the ones that
