Freshman engineering problem solving is an important course for all first year engineering students.Incorporating projects with Physics 1 concepts in the freshmen engineering courses, such as engineering computation, is one way to build the students confidence in dealing with math and physics related problems in the Engineering field 2 .To address the concern whether freshman engineering 3 students can handle projects involving substantial amount of physics is partly analyzed in this report.This report will present the outcome of a final project, which involves dealing with physics and math concepts.About thirty students participated in this study.A simple analysis shows how the students performed in this project, which used some in depth physics and math.Moreover, the comparison of this project with other course requirements such as homework, quizzes and tests is presented.This preliminary study shows that students who did well in the other requirements of the course also performed well in the project that involved math and multi dimensional physics.
