Advanced Manufacturing & Design 3
Course Overview
This course focuses on building upon advanced manufacturing machinery, software, and processes. Students will create advanced level projects using Onshape, Vcarve Pro, and Adobe Illustrator design software. This course focuses heavily on automated machinery and computer aided manufacturing. Students will use the Shopbot CNC machine, laser cutter, 3d printers, and industrial wood shop to complete projects. This course is designed to resemble the manufacturing workplace and students will be responsible for collaborating with peers, meeting with clients, presenting ideas, and adhering to safety rules. Students will demonstrate mastery of the engineering design process by completing a detailed project portfolio. Collaboration with peers is embedded through project presentations, demonstrations and peer to peer feedback.
