There is an ongoing challenge indeveloping an introductory engineering course that meets the needs of the school/college as wellas the students in an effective manner.

Because of his involvement in theproject, one student has expressed interest in pursing graduate education in Technical Graphics.Two students are completing capstone course projects through their participation in this projectand all the project team members benefited from the close student, faculty interaction. Anotherbenefit has been in the area of faculty currency. Much like the students, the faculty involved inthis project has gained valuable knowledge and experience with current multimedia software andmethods.The last benefit to the department has been the development of multimedia technology, bothsoftware and hardware, for future classes.

The third edition of the ASCE Civil Engineering Body of Knowledgestates that undergraduate education should provide opportunities for students to acknowledgeand practice "professional attitudes relevant to the practice of civil engineering, includingcreativity, curiosity, flexibility, and dependability."3 It is clear that these skills are mosteffectively taught across the curriculum rather in a specific course, isolated from otherengineering content.7 Importantly, the necessary background and skills should be introducedearly in the curriculum so students value creativity skills and develop in steps

In engineering education, we place a lot of significance on student participation inthe labs, but we seldom make students part of the curriculum and lab development. Throughactive involvement in lab development, students gain higher levels of learning andunderstanding. It is also well established that a good lab design involves open-ended design toprovide sufficient challenge to students for them to achieve cognitive learning and practicalskills.

This emphasizes the application of mathematics to identify the ideal performance under given constraints, and the Figure of Merit of a given configuration. Thus today we are able to take students to the point where they can do a credible drag analysis of a supersonic configuration at supersonic and subsonic speeds, and, more importantly, develop figures of merit for actual configurations against theoretical ideals.3.2 Implementation and Pedagogy in the Freshman CourseThe DCI has been taught to freshmen at our institution since 1997.
