By 2025, itis projected that the construction of generation, storage, and transmission projects necessary topower cities with renewable energy will require an additional 43,000 workers [2]. With verylarge energy targets to hit, an equally significant effort must be made by education systems toequip upcoming power engineers with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle theproblems of an evolving industry.

problem by deciding what to focus onabout the problem. This aspect also makes teaching design difficult, especially in the first yearwhen students have completed little to none of their technical coursework. To overcome thisissue, faculty sometimes reduce the complexity by making the design problem purely technical,removing social and policy factors. However, this approach can actually make the problem moredifficult for students, by obscuring the problem context and meaning. Another way facultyaddress the issue is by reducing the ill-structuredness, providing kit-based projects in whichstudents lack opportunities to frame the problem.We sought to investigate how first-year students navigated a complex and ill-structured designchallenge, guided by

In particular, a majority of students arrive at theuniversity not yet ready for calculus, which can delay entry into core courses.As one part of addressing this issue, we designed and implemented activities in a new first-year,3-credit course for engineers, computer scientists, and
