PROJECT SHOWCASE
EDSGN 100 Cornerstone
Student teams in EDSGN 100 used a variety of design tools and techniques to design, prototype, and evaluate a solution to a problem posed by the project sponsor: Goodwill Keystone Area. Taken from the statement of work, the project objective was to “identify areas to redesign Goodwill Keystone Area’s donated goods retail (DGR) process for the future, focusing on automated productivity improvements alongside opportunities to positively impact people.” Students focused on various steps throughout this process such as hanging clothing items and transporting hangers. Through the lens of systems thinking and sustainability, students followed similar design processes to identify a pain point in the DGR process, ideate potential solutions, and evaluate and communicate a proposed solution through an iterative, multi-week project. One team was selected by each EDSGN 100 section to represent their section at the design showcase. You can read more about EDSGN 100 on the Cornerstone Engineering Design Website.
