University of Texas at Austin AbstractThe ABET accreditation criterion 5 requires a "culminating major engineering design experience"in the curriculum1. This is commonly referred to as the senior capstone design course. Thefreshman engineering education experience is loaded with required science and mathematicscourses, and there is little room for an engineering experience. Nonetheless, most faculty want tohave some engineering course during the freshman year, and many ideas have been tried over theyears. Of these many ideas, the concept of a team design project with hands-on activities seems tobe the most popular and most beneficial. This paper reports on such a proposed freshmanengineering cornerstone

Before students get a chance to work on their real-world projects, which typically happen in capstone/senior projects, some of the students wouldhave made the decision to transfer out of engineering school. Based on the feedback fromindustry, even students who finished their engineering degree need more experience with real-world product development experience.To enhance the educational experience for students, TAMU made significant amount ofinvestment in seven activities. The majority of the investment went to Activity 1 with a goal ofenhancing the students’ preparation for the workplace and society through high impact

Mind the gapThe call for more design experience in engineering curricula draws attention to a problem indesign education that engineering educators have noted for quite some time. Traditionalengineering programs lack curricular coherence when it comes to design. Students typicallyhave design experiences during introductory coursework (or “cornerstone” courses2) as freshmenand then again later as seniors during capstone projects or seminars. Thus, design experiencescomprise disjointed bookends in students‟ college careers. Their sophomore and junior years aredevoted
