Syllabus

The purpose of this laboratory is to let the students design the objects in software and develop the models or prototypes using clay, wood or other materials of their own creative designed products. Related design projects in collaborative groups or on individual basis will work on a topic formulated by the concerned faculty member.The project may involve collaboration with students from other specializations, disciplines or institutes or with professionals from the industry.

To have a feel of design, steps involved in product design and ultimately development of a product.
Top develop an understanding of a formal product development process
A solid foundation upon which to build

Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Describe an engineering design and development process
2. Create 3D solid models of mechanical components using CAD software
3. Demonstrate individual skill using selected manufacturing techniques, including drilling,
pressing, tapping, and rapid prototyping
4. Employ engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles to execute a design from
concept to finished product
5. Fabricate an electromechanical assembly from engineering drawings
6. Work collaboratively on a team to successfully complete a design project
7. Effectively communicate the results of projects and other assignments in a written and
oral format.
