Design Projects
Help Develop the Next Generation of Innovators
Each Cornerstone course is focused around a particular real-world design project. In Design I, all 500-600 students across the different sections work in teams to find creative solutions for one very broad, very messy project. Examples of past Design I projects can be found here, and our Finalist Competition for Spring 2020 can be found here.
In Design II, each team of students works on a different project with a different client (although some clients submit more than one project). These projects are typically more complex and require the base communication skills and design methodology knowledge taught in Design I. While these projects are varied and can be industry specific, some examples include stabilizing a slope over a road cut, designing a lunar rover, creating a solar desalination and hydrogen harvesting device, and developing radio receivers for processing specific signals.
The best part about these design projects? You and your company can participate!
