Deliverables: A Mechanical Engineering Design Practicum

3 credits · Graduate

This course empowers you with the design process and confidence needed to tackle mechanical design challenges similar to those seen in industry. We will cover valuable design, manufacturing, assembly, and machine design content which you will apply to the weekly projects. These projects are simplified yet representative versions of typical mechanical design challenges seen in industry. You will submit authentic deliverables, such as cad models and technical drawings, and present those deliverables live in a 'design review' format. With frequent feedback, reflection, revision, and repetition, you will refine these professional skills. By successfully completing this course you will bridge the gap between the lessons learned in school and the professional capabilities expected to be an effective engineer in industry.
