This will allow community colleges to borrow,rent, or lease rather than own the equipment. The laboratories were also developed to becompletely self-contained so that all materials needed arrive in a single box in a ready-to-usecondition. This was intended to minimize the preparation time for instructors in the two yearcollege environment. These laboratories are suitable for use in either introduction to engineeringor courses on engineering topics for non-engineers. The laboratories attempt to utilize insightsfrom non-engineering students to determine themes that may enliven introduction to engineeringcourses

For most of the lastcentury, this first-year engineering course involved graphics, descriptive geometry and slide ruleoperation. Over the last two or three decades, graphics courses have largely been replaced by anoffering that involves computing; however, there is no standard course content.Goals for a first engineering course have been the subject of much discourse.
