FYD

Pratt is embarking on a significant change to its first-year program. Historically, the first year of engineering education has had little engineering; instead, courses for students have been foundational courses in math, physics, chemistry, and biology. The new course Engineering Design and Communication engages all first-year students in an authentic, hands-on, project-based design course. Student teams engage in the engineering design process and build low- and medium-fidelity prototypes to solve a community-based need or problem... Successfully solve a client-based design challenge by following steps in the engineering design process... Duke Engineering First-Year Design (FYD) students gain early experience working in multi-disciplinary teams to design and build prototype solutions to solve real-world, client-based problems
