  • ME 170: Introduction to Mechanical Prototyping

    4.00 Credits
    California Institute of Technology

    Enrollment is limited and is based on responses to a questionnaire available in the Registrar’s Office during registration. Introduction to the technologies and practices needed to fabricate mechanical prototypes. Students will be introduced to both manual and computer-aided machining techniques, as well as computer-controlled prototyping technologies, such as three-dimensional printing and water jet cutting. Students will receive safety training, instruction on the theories underlying different machining methods, and hands-on demonstrations of machining and mechanical assembly methods. Several prototypes will be constructed using the various technologies available in the mechanical engineering machine shop. Experience with computer-aided drafting tools is helpful but not essential. Instructor: Van Deusen.
