Abstract

High-quality courses offered to freshman engineering students can help them to develop into excellent engineers. Freshman-year courses have a great impact on these students. Students can learn what real engineers do by learning important aspects of an engineering career in their courses. Thus, improving the educational effect of courses is an important issue. Many design courses are offered to freshman engineering students at colleges around the world. This paper discusses a design course at SungKyunKwan University that uses LEGO. The course was offered from 2006 to 2008, and will be again in the future. This paper discusses a project-based course using LEGO that will be carried out in 2009 and its expected educational effects.
