First-year engineering students tackle a design challenge posed by a customer from the local community.
As part of the Day1: Design program, you and a team of other first-year engineering
students will explore a challenge posed by a local community customer and work to
develop possible technological solutions. Join a dynamic community of peers and mentors
while doing engineering in a real-world context to start your first year with a truly
engaging and life-changing experience.
