Thispaper describes a two-semester course sequence, jointly taught by faculty in engineering andentrepreneurial studies, that integrates engineering design and business development. Courseoutcomes are defined based on research that established four performance areas addressingstudent and solution development in capstone design courses: personal capacity, team processes,solution requirements, and solution assets. Performance criteria for each area establishdefinitions of desired student achievement in each area and form the basis for assessment ofoutcomes for the

While thisfirst year course is taught after the student has entered college, it is experienced by all enteringCS and SE freshman in their first semester. By offering a hands-on experience with a simpleprogramming language and robotics in this initial class, students without the benefit of priorexposure to the application of technology gain that experience. Hall and Mungar summarize thatrobotics have become a popular addition in first year experience courses for computer scienceand engineering because the physical aspect of a robot makes the computing process explicit

One explanation may be that there is significant emphasis onlanguage and literacy skills in these early years and there are limited engineering-related textswritten for this age group. The impact that engineering literature may have on engineeringlearning is therefore not well studied.
