Students use a problem-solving model
to improve existing products and invent new ones. They learn how to apply this model to
solve problems in and out of the classroom. Using sophisticated three-dimensional
modeling software, students communicate the details of the products. Emphasis is placed on analyzing
potential solutions and community ideas to others.

This course applies principles of robotics and
automation. The course builds on
computer solid modeling skills developed in Intro to Engineering Design, and
Design and Drawing for Production.
Students use CNC equipment to produce actual models of their
three-dimensional designs. Fundamental
concepts of robotics used in automated and manufacturing and design analysis
are included.
