Cornerstone 2018

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.
