• Resumen

  • TheEngageprogram is a successful new approach to first-year engineering studies that is beingimplemented at the University of Tennessee. This program develops the desired attributes ofengineering graduates that are requested by industrial employers by introducing realistic designproblems and approaches in parallel with introductory technical concepts. The resulting programintegrates instruction in computer tools, graphics, statics and particle dynamics in two team-taughtsix-hour courses, each with parallel team design projects.
