This project changes the way the engineering curriculum is structured           by: 1) repackaging the material taught in the basic engineering                 sciences into five courses, each of which is based on similar                   scientific and mathematical background; 2) including in these revised           engineering science courses significant engineering design experience.          These steps will address several concerns about engineering curricula           including: 1) the increasing number of "basic" engineering science              courses that result from identifying these courses with the various             engineering disciplines; 2) the separation of engineering design from           engineering science in the minds of students with the consequent lack           of appreciation for the interaction of engineering science with                 engineering design; 3) an apparent loss of interest by students in              creative engineering efforts as a result of the heavy doses of analysis         in the engineering sciences.  Institutional funds commited to this              project are approximately one-third of NSF funds.
