The
Cornerstone Project at Fan Gongxiu Honors College is your opportunity to
complete a major research or creative project in your freshmen year, in partial
fulfilment of the requirement of the University Honors Course UHN 101 &
102, Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Design. It is how you fulfill
the Honors "Width”requirement. You choose the topic yourself in major
engineering disciplines; you have the resources of a major research university
at your disposal; you are mentored by a faculty member you have asked to
supervise you; and you complete a project that serves as the "Cornerstone”
of engineering majors: the foundation of your entire undergraduate career. For
many it also marks the beginning of a serious research or professional
trajectory. It's an exciting, pivotal project.
