Over the last four years, the Introductory Engineering Science (ENES 101) course has been revised from a traditional lecture and design-on-paper course, to an active learning lecture and project based learning engineering design course. The design teams are required not only to research, design, construct, evaluate, test and present their product, but also to develop a mathematical model of their product's performance. Successful engineering design projects have included human powered pumps, water balloon launching devices, hot air balloons, wooden block transport devices, hemodialysis systems and chemically powered vehicles. ABET evaluations have been collected for this course over the last four years and this data has been used to evolve the course, as well as to formulate the design criteria for the design projects. In addition, a new "Success Seminar" component was added to one section of this course last year, and due to the positive impact on students' academic success in the following semester, the "Success Seminar" component has been added to two sections of the course this year.
