OutcomesCornerstone of Engineering is an advanced 8 credit hour course designed for all engineeringmajors and covers fundamental engineering concepts. The course covered technical skills, such asC++, MATLAB, Solidworks, and AutoCAD, hands-on skills, such as laser cutting andprototyping, and soft skills such as communication and creative thinking. Alongside these learningactivities, the course consisted of a semester long project to implement these skills, which led tothe development of Rebounding Energy: the piezoelectric backboard attachment.The beginning of the course started by learning how to design a product while considering factorssuch as cost, timelines, practicality, user friendliness, environmental impact, and inclusivity.While conducting original
