This section seeks to expand on the concepts ofcornerstone, hackathons, the cornerstone course at the university, and the theoretical frameworksand survey instruments used for the study. 2.1 Cornerstone DesignCornerstone design courses are a common feature of undergraduate engineering degrees [2], [3].In a broad sense, cornerstone design courses are design projects aimed at freshman- andsophomore-level students. Cornerstone courses are comparable to senior-level capstone courses;students must solve an engineering problem, typically with a team. Cornerstone design courses, incontrast to capstone

engineering challenges.IntroductionParticipating in project-based courses is a common experience across many engineeringprograms from first year design courses to capstone and more. The Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) includes project management as one of the twelve graduateattributes engineering students must develop and demonstrate throughout their degree [1]. Oftenthis attribute is embedded within project-based courses, such as final year capstone courses, andfirst year and upper year engineering design courses [2]. Many of these projects are team-based,teaching engineering students important attributes, such as, individual and teamwork,communication, professionalism in addition to technical skills related to their disciplines

This work-in-progressstudy investigates how senior engineering students leverage AI-based learning tools, such asChatGPT, in design projects and explores the need for integrating formal AI training into engineeringcurricula. The study is guided by two central research questions: (1) How does AI enhancestudents’ ability to navigate complex design processes and improve outcomes? (2) What are theperceived impacts of AI on students’ learning, skill development, and ethical considerations inengineering design?Eighteen senior capstone students from three design project groups at a land-grant university inthe western United States were selected and recruited through convenience sampling toparticipate in the study

It should be noted that if students were taking this course in their lastsemester as an undergraduate, they also were likely simultaneously taking their capstone designproject course. By the nature of its projects, the capstone design project course should beproviding students with even more insights into their future careers. Statements 3 and 6 relate tohow the students approached the project during the semester, and the results from thesestatements raise concerns that students are putting the projects off until late in the semester. Ifthat is the case, it helps explain the lack of success in producing a fully correct design analysisand the rather conservative approaches taken to the

That is how capstone is, you start a project and work all the way through it start to end, and i think having other classes that follow that same step would be very helpful. It also helps you understand the whole project more when you do all the different steps to it." • "I think that it would be great.

these challenges. The program integrates a robust “design spine” that spansthe entirety of the undergraduate experience. This spine includes project-based courses thatprogressively develop students’ skills in design thinking, empathy, and technical analysis. Earlycourses, such as introductory design and manufacturing, provide foundational exposure to HCDprinciples, while senior capstone projects emphasize tackling comprehensive, real-world designchallenges. These capstone projects not only demand technical proficiency but also requirestudents to engage deeply with user needs, environmental considerations, and societal impacts.Extracurricular and informal learning environments are another hallmark of the program.Engineering competition teams

design requires both technical skills and the ability toincorporate stakeholder perspectives to create innovative and relevant solutions. Stakeholderidentification and engagement are particularly important during the front-end design phases,where problem scoping and user research shape project outcomes. Front-end design refers to theinitial stages of the design process, where designers define problems, gather requirements, andexplore possible solutions, often with significant input from stakeholders to ensure the outcomesare contextually relevant [2].Despite its recognized importance, students often encounter challenges in stakeholderengagement. Common barriers include difficulties setting clear goals for interactions,synthesizing feedback, and
