interactive poster presentation (second project). Gradingreports and presentations included “peer evaluation” as an integral part of the learning process. A challenge in formulating the design projects is that first-year students lack technical sophistication. With this in mind, thefirst set of seven design projects was developed in conjunction with Engineers without Borders, involving relatively low-techengineering solutions that would benefit disadvantaged communities in developing countries. The remote setting also emphasizedthe importance of understanding the “soft” side of design. Students were required to understand the client needs, opportunities,and benefits and make realistic conclusions about the cost, feasibility, and impact on the

The engineering community and the aerospace industry initiated this new approach tothe design of large systems in 1960s.

In fact,product dissection style projects have been around since the mid- to late-1990s [1]. Hands-onprojects are often used in two applications: 1) to gain a deeper understanding of the course theorythrough application, 2) to motive learning of engineering topics. In this work the latter is thefocus for using a hands-on project in a first year engineering course. One goal of the hands-onproject development is to motivate the students make them excited to study mechanicalengineering. A second goal, is that the students leave the course with an introductory levelknowledge of the engineering design process. Specifically
