the Fallsemester of 2001, a new ENGR0081 was enacted and linked to the first semester EngineeringAnalysis course ENGR0011. By linking the academic and advising courses, ENGR0081would now be a course in which lectures would provide information needed by the studentsto complete assignments in other courses.The syllabus of the ENGR0081 lecture sessions looks basically the same under both the newdesign and the old design. The major change is a linking of E/FEWP assignments fromENGR0011 with content and activities from ENGR0081, see Figure 1. ENGR0011 writingassignments require that students research their intended fields of engineering, discoveringand analyzing what engineers in various disciplines undertake and produce as well as whatthe ongoing

. Mornings were generally devoted to lecture sessions, with group activities andhands-on workshops in the afternoon to reinforce concepts learned from the lectures. Mostevenings were devoted to working on group projects.
