Goals of the course include but are not limited to: introduce freshmenstudents to the Product Realization Process, have the students develop a personalprofessional plan and to develop a basic engineering project to include market outlook, basicproduction techniques, economic assessment, planning, design, manufacturing, testing andproduct evaluation. From this point on students start their design practice portfolio.Building on these competencies continues through subsequent courses

By introducing solid modeling in the freshman year,the connection with vector analysis is easily made with another required freshman courseentitled Introduction to Engineering Analysis (IEA). Furthermore, it was decided to makethe course a one-credit course with a final assembly project instead of a final exam. Thisfinal project serves as a small detailed design project in that students must create thepiece parts of the assembly, create the assembly, and create all the

Cornerstone coursesare first-year engineering design courses mostly using project-based learning methodologies [4],where students work in teams to solve real-world problems [5]. During COVID-19, students hadto work remotely in teams using different platforms, such as Teams, ZOOM, and Google Drive.Today, most universities have returned to face-to-face classes. After meeting with students todiscuss their projects, the faculty team realized that despite the face-to-face classes, some teamsstill use different technologies to do their teamwork and have never met in person outside lecturetime.

A multipurpose laboratory equipped with fluidprocess, sensors, data acquisition system, and application programs is being developed. Aseries of laboratory practices based on use of fluid mechanics principles in energyefficient industrial applications provide students a strong foundation of the subject. Laterin the senior level engineering design classes, these learnings are utilized to practiceinnovative design of energy efficient products.

Thus,dissemination of the notion and value of program outcomes is a major hurdle for the faculty.This paper suggests that engaging students at the freshman level in the departmental programoutcomes is one strategy to foster a climate of their acceptance in later courses.
