For the past nine years, the Mercer University School of Engineering has required freshman engineering students to enroll in a three-quarter freshman engineering sequence: EGR 101, 102, and 103. In EGR 101 and EGR 102 students are taught basic visualization skills and engineering drawing techniques. They learn to use WordPerfect, Lotus 123, and AutoCAD. They work in teams to deliver a brief oral presentation on a technical topic. In EGR 103, the students build on the skills they learned in EGR 101 and EGR 102 in order to design, build and test a simple device. The focus of this paper is an evaluation of a number of the projects that have been used in the EGR 103 design course.
