It is very important and challenging to teach modern topics at the freshman level. This paper describes a biometrics module that fits into any introductory freshman engineering course. The project has broad learning outcomes, namely, enhanced application of math skills, software implementation skills, interest in biometrics and comprehension of ethical issues. Assessment results based on the analysis of student surveys related to the learning outcomes and vertical integration show that the project was successful.
