Capilano University offers a very successful first-year Engineering Transfer and Engineering Transition Diploma program. A key learning experience for students of both programs is a one-semester Engineering Design course, in which the instructor leads the student through a practical design project, applying engineering design principles that are presented in the course. In 2014, a new project design theme was introduced, specifically working with small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The teaching methodology combined both lecture and student led learning experiences. Student teams of 4 were provided a common assignment to carry out a field investigation using a UAV and video camera to simulate an industrial application. With experience gained on a PC based flight simulator, all teams successfully completed their designs, carried out their UAV flights and documented their results. Students developed project management and communication skills early in their engineering education. This innovative approach in first year provides students with immediate exposure to the practical limitations that constrain engineering design. The teaching methodology is expected to result in graduate engineers who have stronger skills in teamwork, communication, and design capability. This first year teaching methodology has shown significant promise as demonstrated through the quality of the design projects, as well as positive feedback from the students.
