first-year engineering students has been increasingly studied over recent years. However,many of these studies examine the use of general engineering concepts and subsequently providea connection of how they apply to engineering design. As an example, a program may presentan engineering project and then discuss how mathematics and physics fit within the context ofthe project. While it is imperative that first-year engineering students understand the relationshipbetween these fields and their role within engineering, there are limited studies which examineimmersing first-year engineering students into a teaching environment that is centered around theunderstanding of another closely related major.This paper will present an overview and

The role of design inan engineering curriculum is a key factor contributing to its success [1]. Engineering design projectsprovide students with a broad view related to the material presented in lectures. Through project-basedlearning, students are encouraged to assume responsibility for their learning experience and to shift from apassive to an active learning style [2,3]. To contribute to the development of engineering students, weincorporated a team-based design project informed by service-learning into a first-year engineeringcourse.

However, incoming freshmen have widelyvarying degrees of programming background and expertise, from none whatsoever to theequivalent of three semesters of introductory courses. Those with programming experience havetypically been exposed to Java, and maybe C++ or Python, so the project cannot be language-specific. Such a project must be difficult enough to give students a sense of accomplishment butnot so difficult that they give up. It must also give
