Full Paper: A Systems Engineering Approach to Conceptual Design in a 1st-Year Engineering Program1st-year engineering students engage in three projects over the course of the fall and springsemesters. In the fall semester students build, test, and present at an exposition an Arduino-basedgame. While students are provided the design for the game, they are strongly encouraged tomake creative modifications. Following this, students complete a reverse engineering activity ona simple household appliance or medical device. The result is a CAD model of the device and adetailed report, typically of about 40 – 50 pages. Students work in teams of three or four on bothprojects.In the spring semester work consists of a
