This paper describes a new course designed for engineering freshmen to be taken in the second semester of their curriculum. The intent of the course is to enhance the engineering student’s problem solving skills and to expose the students to the various branches of engineering. It replaces a traditional programming course involving the C or C++ programming language. The use of software such as MATLAB for problem solving in this course is described and the use of such a package in plotting graphs and solving engineering problems is stressed. The use of other software to solve electrical circuits, to simulate mechanical systems, to analyze data statistically, and to study environmental problems is also described.
