Full engineering degrees require courses in theory, application, professional skills,and additional extracurricular courses. To receive a fully remote degree in an engineering field, astudent would have to successfully complete all of these courses. This means that the degreeawarding department would have to make all these courses available to all students remotely, oroutsource classes to other programs, colleges, or universities.

.2• Absence of Inter- and Multi-disciplinarity: The lamented present lack of inter- and multi-disciplinarity in school curricula continues into many engineering studies: there are no multidisciplinary contexts, broad views or historical references. The rather broad interest of women is directly opposed by a unilateral, outmoded learning/training program which is not only unattractive to women, but also bypasses an actual demand of modern education: the complexity of the global market, the social reference, economical objectives as well as the ecological boundaries call for more comprehensive and integrated thought and action, which has to be mirrored in interdisciplinary approaches.• Disregard of “Social Skills

, instead of designing aproduct from scratch, is often used to improve the product and better fulfill the customers’expectations, while reducing the development time and cost. On the freshman level, it isadvisable to focus on the first area, information recovery. As one phase of evolutionary design,reverse engineering lends itself to this end. In this paper, the example of a two-cycle gas weedtrimmer subjected to reverse engineering is used to demonstrate how a freshman engineeringdesign program can benefit from evolutionary design. Evolutionary design can serve as aretention tool in freshman engineering by appealing to student interest, incorporating teamwork,recognizing the demands of industry, and demystifying the design process.1.
