| Description: | 1st Half Semester Course. Digital modeling software paired with desktop fabrication devices offers powerful tools for scientists and engineers, enabling novel approaches to molecular visualization, the creation of custom analytical instrumentation, and the development of specialized laboratory equipment. Rapid prototyping with parametric digital modeling moves beyond the limits of conventional tooling and commercial components while fostering critical and creative problem-solving skills. This course builds proficiency with these technologies through introductory training in three core areas: parametric computer-aided design using Autodesk Tinkercad and Fusion 360, fabrication of an analytical instrument with 3D printers and high-power laser cutters, and basic electronics and circuit design. Students will demonstrate competency through collaborative projects and targeted skill-building assignments. |
