Abstract
The paper discusses how new freshman engineering courses at West Virginia University integrated computers, mathematics, and design while giving a more rigorous introduction to engineering. Pilot sections were started in the Fall 1994 semester. One day per week is devoted to maths. Three days a week are project work. Projects are not chosen for mathematical content, but stress mathematics within each project. The engineering instructor does not replace the mathematics faculty or tutors. Engineers act as experts on the uses of mathematics. Since we feel most successful engineering students study cooperatively we promote group study activity in mathematics.
