SCI-250: Introduction to 3D Printing

This course will enrich students' knowledge in design and applied engineering as they model, fabricate, test, discuss, and iterate upon mechanical 3D objects they design throughout the course. Each aspect of the course will allow students to design and fabricate 3D objects using computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3D printers. Students will experience the design process and become familiar with the advantages and limitations of each 3D printing technology in terms of precision, resolution, and material capabilities. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing.
