The Cornerstone course incorporates hands-on, project-baseddesign work with computer programming. Previously taught in two separate first-yearcourses, the new Cornerstone course model blends programming and design in a way thatdemonstrates the intertwined nature of the two skills. The project-based Cornerstoneincludes occasional incongruent learning of course content. By highlighting the fact thatproblem-solving in engineering brings together groups of
