[Recommended to consider resources like OpenCourseWare (MIT, TU Delft), OpenStax, NASA SE Handbook, etc.]
This class provides a setting to continue developing projects for field implementation. Topics covered include prototyping techniques, materials selection, design-for-manufacturing, field-testing, and project management. All classwork will directly relate to the students' projects.
There are times you might want to dive right into the content, we understand. Here is a list of the articles we’ve curated for each question, all in one place. Rather than browsing by questions, you can browse articles alphabetically by author or filter by common topics related to design.
View course materials. How to conceptualize, design, build, and assess a prototype that solves an engineering problem. Learn about the primary fields of engineering and explore the engineering design process, from conceptual design and optimal choice evaluation to prototyping and project construction. Everything learned in this course will be applied to the “Design Challenge” which enables you to apply learnings in real time— designing, constructing, and testing a prototype (course options allow for CAD based or actual physical build) to solve a real world engineering problem.
