Description: Students in EDES 210 will learn and practice advanced prototyping and fabrication skills useful in the construction of physical objects for engineering design projects. The course is structured as lecture and demonstration of basic and advanced prototyping techniques and out-of-class work practicing and honing the application of these techniques. Example techniques include low fidelity prototyping, 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design, electronics, foam cutting, laser cutting, plasma cutting, 3D printing, and molding/casting methods. Students will individually apply these techniques to create physical objects. Recommended Prerequisite(s): ENGI 120 or FWIS 188 or ENGI 220 or EDES 120 or EDES 220 or FWIS 288 Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EDES 210 if student has credit for BIOE 555.
