Course Title: Prototype : How to Make Anything…….Well, Almost Anything
This course provides a hands-on introduction to the resources for designing and fabricating smart systems, including CAD/CAM/CAE, 3-D printing, injection molding, laser cutting, PCB layout and fabrication; embedded digital processing; wired and wireless communications.
Summary:
Design, Create & Make (almost anything). An introduction to digital fabrication, design and prototyping. The course will allow students to explore their ideas, interests and inventions using tools and techniques found in a digital fabrication lab (FABLAB). Students will be able to explore a variety of design elements through mixed media, materials, computer assisted design (CAD) software, machines and digital programming allowing them to create (almost anything) through an iterative design and engineering process. The course is modeled after the rapid-prototyping FABLAB at the MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms.
