A Freshman Engineering Design Course

Incorporating an Entrepreneurial Mindset in a Freshman Mechanical Engineering Course

This paper presents a case of incorporating Project-Based Learning (PBL) and EntrepreneuriallyMinded Learning (EML) to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in a freshman-level, introductory course in mechanical engineering within an ABET accredited program. The course is designed to teach the basic tools and skills of engineering such as graphics communication, solid modeling, and programming, wit...

MATLAB Meets LEGO Mindstorms - A Freshman Introduction Course Into Practical Engineering

In today’s teaching and learning approaches for first-semester students, practical courses more and more often complement traditional theoretical lectures. This practical element allows an early insight into the real world of engineering, augments student motivation, and enables students to acquire soft skills early. This paper describes a new freshman introduction course into practical enginee...
