  abstract = {<p>This paper describes an experiential<br />
learning activity to promote skill development in<br />
first year engineering students. The exercise involves<br />
the assembly of a remote-control car using readily<br />
available part kits. Students work in small teams<br />
under the mentorship of experienced faculty members<br />
from a variety of engineering backgrounds. The goal<br />
of the exercise is to introduce engineering design into<br />
first year engineering by providing students with an<br />
engaging, hands-on experience. The exercise is one<br />
of several new activities being incorporated into the<br />
Ideas Clinic Experience for engineering students at<br />
the University of Waterloo.</p>
