Prerequisites: MATH 111 or MATH 113 or MATH 138 or (MATH 110 and ENGR 101) or (MATH 107 and ARCH 156). This course introduces students to the fundamental skills, equipment, safety procedures, and theory required to prototype and test basic mechanical and electrical systems as part of the engineering and product design process. Students learn basic prototyping skills starting with hand tools and moving to computer-controlled cutting, shaping, and measurement equipment such as 3D printers, water jets, lasers, CMM’s, mills, and lathes. Students learn to use software to design components, develop and interpret prints, and program fabrication and inspection machinery. Entrepreneurial concepts, budget, and economic factors associated with prototyping are discussed and examined. Laboratory exercises require students to design, model, fabricate, and validate components and systems. The course concludes with a final project requiring students to design and produce a physical project in the NJIT Makerspace.
