Course Overview
Through a series of exploratory labs and projects, students will engage with the engineering design process and learn the design fundamentals. These design centric projects introduce sketching techniques, 3d printing technology, CAD software, and manufacturing processes using state of art power tools and machinery. This course will emphasize the engineering design process which involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention. Students gain knowledge through collaboration exploration, documentation and develop problem solving skills by applying their knowledge to various design challenges. This course is intended for students interested in careers related to engineering, design, architecture, and manufacturing.
