The award winning Design4Practice program (1999 Boeing Outstanding Educator Award) incorporates a design experience into each of the four years of the engineering programs at Northern Arizona University. This paper describes the experience that new engineering students receive in the freshman course titled “Introduction to Engineering Design”. This multi-purpose course serves to provide experiences in the engineering design process, working in teams, introduction to the engineering professions, planning for success, development of communication skills, and an introduction to mathematical modeling. The course has been designed to articulate with the other schools in Arizona, and a matrix of the outcomes that all the Arizona universities and community colleges are expected to achieve is included in the paper.
