    Description
    This survey course is designed to introduce students to both design, manufacturing, and modern fabrication, utilizing demonstrations, with the following areas of emphasis: manufacturing processes, equipment and systems, design for manufacturing, measurement tools, blueprint reading, rapid prototyping (3D printers), CNC machine set-up, CNC machine programming (lathe and mill), CAD/CAM and quality control using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). This hands-on, team-based course is designed to provide students with instruction and skills through applied real-world experience to enable insight into how products are designed and fabricated. Students will be able to identify the terminology of each area, examine each technique and skill requirement, and gain a fundamental understanding of diverse industry processes.
