| Popis: | The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology began a revision of the freshman engineering curriculum in 1997. Beginning with a pilot program of 25 students, the program is now required for virtually all first-year engineering students. The program, FC 2000, utilizes a project-based learning approach and features student teams to integrate material in general engineering, mathematics, science and English. Small projects (2-3 per semester) are designed to give students an exposure to engineering design in a variety of engineering disciplines. Project components include designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and presentation of technical data. We present a model for the first year curriculum, preliminary assessment results, and plans for future integration. |
