, engineering education is builton a foundation of sciences and mathematics courses, with students taking engineering courses in their upper years, with fewstudents experiencing design outside of a focused course in their discipline. In the 1990's, in response to. accreditation criteria,most engineering schools added a “capstone” design project in the final year. These projects are meant to be complex, have a“real world” flavor, and are often multi-disciplinary. In some cases, there are industrial sponsors and students work closely withpracticing engineers. As engineering education has evolved in the last decade, the concept of a “cornerstone” or first-year engineering designproject has been added. The goal of these projects to give students early
