In this paper, we present our reverse engineering pedagogy (REP), which intends to facilitate the confluence of physics and design thinking. The method's goal is to make it possible for engineering students to view their design challenges via a first-principle physics lens. Additionally, we describe how we implemented two exercises involving the dissection of an induction cooker and an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in our introductory undergraduate year 1 electromagnetism course.
