This existingcourse was based on traditional engineering topics such as circuit analysis, thermodynamics, and computingand students learned basic skills in a conventional lecture-recitation format. The existing course was found tobe lacking as a motivating and exciting experience for first year engineering students. Since these two factorsplay strong roles in student retention and persistence, an interdisciplinary team of faculty decided to
