Computer Aided Manufacturing is a course using the NX manufacturing environment to program machining operations for CNC milling. Students will learn the basics of creating a manufacturing setup using parts and blanks, and establishing various machining operations to machine everything from simple parts to complex surfaces. The class will review basic design for manufacturing, general machining rules, and the NX manufacturing environment, including various types of operations, tool generation, and establishing proper manufacturing geometry. Each class will be approximately 50% lecture and 50% software use to allow students to familiarize themselves with NX manufacturing. Students will be expected to spend time outside of class using the NX manufacturing software to increase their familiarity with the program.

This 0.5 unit courses introduces students to developing solid models, detail drawings, and product assemblies. Students will learn the basics of the Unigraphics software. This course will be offered during the first five weeks of the quarter and will be immediately followed by DSGN 245-2 in the second five weeks. Students should take both DSGN 245-1 and DSGN 245-2 if they would like the two courses to combine for one full unit of credit.

This 0.5 unit course focuses on productive modeling techniques that capture design intent in the context of the Master Model. Delivering on that outcome, the course will incorporate sketching, interpart modeling, expression associativity, and mating conditions as a significant part of the instruction. At the end of this course students should be able to create a complex model using associative interpart modeling techniques within a complex assembly structure. DSGN 245-2 will be offered in the second 5 weeks of the quarter. This course will be preceded by DSGN 245-1 in the first five weeks. Students should take both DSGN 245-1 and DSGN 245-2 if they would like the two courses to combine for one full unit of credit.

This is a learn-by-doing class in which the students join a team to participate in a multi-quarter, interdisciplinary Institute Project. Institute Projects underway include the design of a vehicle that can purify the cabin air in the presence of toxic chemicals or biological agents, and the design of a device that encourages activity and audience interaction with the marine mammals at the Shedd aquarium. This course is a required course for the Certificate in Engineering Design. It is a pre-requisite for DSGN 398, Interdisciplinary Design Projects II. Students who enroll in DSGN 298 WQ09 are expected to enroll in DSGN 398 Interdisciplinary Design Projects II in SQ09.

Design engineers and industrial designers frequently work together on the same projects where industrial designers focus primarily on the user experience and the embodiment of the technology. This course will explore the process of product development from an industrial design perspective. In this course students will: 1) develop an understanding of human factors, aesthetics, and product semantics and how these factors affect a products success in the market, 2) use design research methods to develop product concepts, and 3) learn how to use sketching and prototyping to formulate, communicate, and test concepts. Students will also analyze case studies to gain a deeper understanding of how engineers use industrial design techniques to enhance their work.

This course is designed for engineering students (undergraduate and graduate) with an interest in design, invention, and the meaningful expression of creative ideas. It is intended to educate engineers and designers about their critical role in the invention/creative process and give insight on the technologists role in wealth creation. All issues relating to patents and patentability of inventions, copyrights and the protection of the expressions of ideas, trademarks and source identifiers will be reviewed and analyzed in the context of multiple engineering domains.
