Students learn about various aspects of the engineering profession and acquire bothtechnical skills and non-technical skills, in areas such as communication, team work, andengineering ethics. The class was restructured to focus on the following goals: (1) Provide anengaging and fun experience for students to explore engineering topics; (2) Increase retention forfreshmen in the College of Engineering; (3) Give an early taste of engineering; (4) Exposestudents to the design process; (5) Present the global picture of engineering; (6) Provideengineering skill development; (7) Provide students
