While very tight integration is not necessarily a goal, interplay between differentcourses is required to be conscious, recognizable, and representative of the mutual interdepend-ence that exists among “different” engineering subjects.In the first semester, opportunities exist for integration of the several engineering courses.

In combination, these two courses provide studentswith a good first hand experience of applying their knowledge in mathematics and physics to theengineering problem solving. On the other hand, they also learn the engineering design processat an early stage. Another important element to ensure the success of the new curriculum is thatthese skills have to be applied repeatedly throughout the students' education.
