printer friendly pageME 203: Design and Manufacturing
ME203 is intended for any graduate student, from any field of study, who may want the opportunity to design and prototype a physical project of meaning to them. Undergraduate mechanical engineering and product design students should register for
ME103. Students are asked to discover a product with meaning to them; develop a point of view which motivates a redesign of that product; manufacture a series of models, multiple candidates, including sketches, product use stories, rapid prototypes, CAD documents, manufacturing test models, and finally a customer ready prototype. Each student will physically create their product using Product Realization Lab resources, and also redesign their product for scaled manufacturing to develop a knowledge of manufacturing processes, design guidelines, materials choices, and the opportunities those processes provide. The student's body of work will be presented in a large public setting, Meet the Makers, through an inspirational portfolio which shares and reflects on their product realization adventure.

ME 318: Computer-Aided Product Creation
Design course focusing on an integrated suite of computer tools: rapid prototyping, solid modeling, computer-aided machining, and computer numerical control manufacturing. Students choose, design, and manufacture individual products, emphasizing individual design process and computer design tools. Structured lab experiences build a basic CAD/CAM/CNC proficiency. If in-class restrictions are applied, in-person use of the Product Realization Lab may be limited or not permitted. In this case class will consist of asynchronous lectures and online coaching meetings and office hours. Limited enrollment. Prerequisite: ME103 or equivalent and consent of instructor.
