This work proposes a four course sequence during the first two years of the engineering curriculum to simulate the concepts of vertical integration. This sequence will be implemented within existing curricula and is thus cost effective and not resource constrained. The goals and objectives of this work are to provide an alternative procedure for vertical integration of material that works within current frameworks, to increase student retention between the first and second year of engineering curriculum, to enhance the educational experience of engineering students through the integration of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering science, to produce engineering students that are creative, critical thinkers and mature independent learners, and that are aware of the engineering role in society as a whole. The main contribution of this work will be the development of an integration scheme that can be implemented within existing curricula without taxing budgets or resources and without political concerns. The results of this project will also be transferable to other schools and to science and non-technical divisions as well.

这项工作提出了四个课程序列在前两年的工程课程，以模拟垂直整合的概念。这一顺序将在现有课程中实施，因此具有成本效益，而且资源不受限制。这项工作的目标和目的是为在现有框架内工作的材料的垂直整合提供一种替代程序，以增加工程课程一年级和二年级之间的学生保留率，通过整合数学，物理，化学和工程科学来增强工程学生的教育体验，培养具有创造性的工程学生。批判性思考者和成熟的独立学习者，并且意识到工程在整个社会中的作用。这项工作的主要贡献将是制订一项可以在现有课程内执行的一体化计划，而不需要对预算或资源征税，也不需要考虑政治问题。该项目的成果也将转移到其他学校以及科学和非技术部门。
