Currently, the first engineering coursethat students take at Texas A&M University, ENGR 102: ENGR Lab I Computation, is a 2-credithour course to learn programming with Python 3. The new proposed course will be a 1-credithour laboratory-based course taken concurrently that will mimic the course taught at UniversidadT´ecnica Federico Santa Mar´ıa. First-year engineering students at Texas A&M University aregeneral engineering majors; they have not selected their major yet and will be a mix of differentdisciplines and backgrounds.The proposed course will follow the same methodology as the original course

Students had anopportunity to verify these equations through hands-on projects and direct measurements in thethermos-fluid laboratory. Also, students were introduced to basic force analysis on aerodynamicvehicles, with an emphasis on lift generation airfoils. They were also given the opportunity touse simulation tools to better understand flow properties and their effect on the aerodynamicloads.Through this session of the SEE program, students were introduced to both theoretical andexperimental topics related to

Thiswas a commendable step toward improving the course and addressing broader impacts ofengineering, but something was still lacking. While these activities provided a glance into sometypical laboratory exercises in the various engineering disciplines and kept students engaged, thecourse did not emphasize human-centered design concepts that are vital for solving real-worldchallenges.
