ENGC2075 Engineering Design Project
This course will introduce the student to the mechanical design process. The student will create prototypes using 3D printers, laser cutters, and milling machines. Maintaining an engineering notebook will be taught throughout the course. Students will work in teams to solve given design problems and work independently to discover design problems, define product characteristics, generate concepts, choose the best concept, and produce a prototype. Students will showcase their final idea to the class.
