Fall 2025 Laboratory Lecture Upper Division
This course expands the engineering design process, incorporating rapid prototyping and other fabrication technologies to create a specified solution. The course emphasizes process flow chart planning and logistics of engineering/technology education laboratory management. Prototypes will be tested in real situations and data gathered on performance. Designs will be revised to reflect a deeper understanding of manufacturing and use, being sensitive to structure, function, and behavior from a systems-level perspective. Intellectual property, marketing, and infrastructure will be discussed.
Learning Outcomes1Describe the complexity of implementing design solutions.
2Select appropriate fabrication technologies.
3Operationalize performance criteria into measurable variables.
4Gather data to make rational decisions, which are transparent and justifiable.
5Optimize design solutions and perform iteratively in the design process.
