This paper describes an introductory freshman experience course, “Introduction to Building Systems” that was five years in the making and meets several critical goals for this engineering department. The ten-week course consists of a large group lecture and a small group activity each week and is team-taught by a tenured faculty member and the department head. Industry support from Hilti and Simpson Strong-Tie provides materials and expertise for two of the activities. University support assists with the welding, digital fabrication, and building tour activities. A review of the literature addresses how this course aligns with and differs from other existing introductory experience courses. The development of the course is described using a highly regarded systematic design of instruction process. Future changes are discussed based on assessment data from the first two iterations of this course.
