: Creating a First-Year Culture with a Multi-Faceted ApproachAbstractThis complete evidence-based practice paper presents an update of analysis and observations in arequired first-year engineering curriculum at Northeastern University, which is a medium-sized,private, urban university. A curricula redesign resulted in a “cornerstone to capstone” approachwith a pilot program rolled out to 2 sections of a first-year engineering course in the Fall of 2014.The goal of this cornerstone approach was to integrate design, programming, graphicalcommunication, and engineering analysis previously taught in two separate first-yearengineering courses by creating an 8 credit hour, 14 week course that focuses on real world,hands-on design

engineering. Recommendations for improvement focuslargely on the specific language of the project description that was handed out to the students.Introduction Freshman engineering programs vary greatly at different universities and are constantly atopic of debate for educators seeking to inspire, excite and educate the next generation ofengineers. The demand from industry is to provide engineers that are not only technicallycompetent, but that can thrive in a group environment and lead a team to design a better product.The challenge for educators then, is to introduce more design within socially relevant contextsinto their curriculum starting at the freshman level without decreasing student retention. Thedilemma is in introducing design

Learning design via a team-based designproject promotes cognitive skills, social skills, management skills, and positive personal traits.Design and development of an open ended design project is discussed. The team-based projectprogresses over approximately ten weeks in an elementary strength of materials course. Thisprovides a significant design experience for engineering students that helps bridge the gapbetween the first-year engineering design course and the capstone design project that engineeringstudents typically do in their senior year.
