Day1: Design

First-year engineering students tackle a real-world design challenge.

Day1: Edge students tackling a design challengeAs part of the Day1: Design program, you and a team of other first-year engineering students will explore a real-world design challenge 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.

Day1: Design is a deliberate attempt to make the engineering profession real from your very first semester. As part of the Design program, you will carry out a design project as you work in teams to address a real-world need, design a viable and efficient solution, and develop an actual prototype.

鈥淚t felt good to actually do something important for someone already in my freshman year. This kept me really interested in engineering right away.鈥�
