This paper describes our experiences with a new freshman-level engineering problem solving course jointly designed by the School of Engineering and the Department of Philosophical Studies. The main objective of the course is to incorporate critical thinking skills into the scientific problem solving method. It has the additional objective of enhancing skills in communication, teamwork, technical writing, and personal development. Experimental offerings of the course have produced encouraging results. In this paper we will report on our experiences with the course, which has now become an established course in the engineering curriculum.
