The mission of the first-year engineering experience is to prepare students for their undergraduate experience, solve real-world multidisciplinary problems, and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in their careers. This will be accomplished through project-based learning in the General Engineering (EG) 1004 Introduction to Engineering and Design course. This course is central to the students-first initiative at NYU Tandon School of Engineering by offering project-based learning for practical engineering skills development in the first year. EG1004 is a gateway course to the rest of the curriculum and opportunities that students will have at Tandon and in their future careers. The EG faculty and teaching assistants represent a variety of disciplines and act as mentors for student projects and professional development.

-Our world is becoming ever more complex. For engineers to create effective solutions to today's challenges requires more than their own technical expertise - it requires the ability to work on multidisciplinary teams, to communicate with various stakeholders, and to manage projects at various scales.

-Being able to do so requires practice. Here in EG-1004, our goal is to empower first-year students as they begin this practice through labs and semester long projects. While the course has evolved since its original form launched in 1993, this remains its core mission. In this manual, you will find the activities and materials to help us accomplish this.
