yourlearning?” This project has been an obvious fit for our curriculum as college faculty have been taskedwith incorporating engineering design in more courses before the students take their capstone seniordesign experience.At DU, we believe the Engineering for People Design Challenge is a great way to accomplish many ofour engineering goals. First, it allows us to introduce the design process to freshmen. We expect thesefreshmen to thus be better prepared for our more advanced junior and senior design project courses.Second, this project really helps to motivate many of our students to stick withengineering. Often, courses in the first two years of engineering are not very applied and some studentslose interest. Seeing how engineering can help solve

semester,during which they enroll in a capstone design course that utilizes multidisciplinary groups ofARCHE and ARCH students to design and analyze a building project over the course of asemester. While the capstone portion of the program is not unique to Oklahoma StateUniversity, the immersion of first-year Architectural Engineering students into the architecturaldesign studio is and forms the basis of this paper.Literature ReviewMarino, Cross, Feinaur, McCusker, and Casale noticed first-year engineering students oftenidentify themselves as one particular type of engineer, for example “I’m an Electrical Engineer,”without understanding the multidisciplinary nature of both engineering and engineering projects[3]. The authors suggest that students
