Week1

1: Principles and practices. Project management

Define a project proposal and build a website for documenting the project.

Week2

2: Computer-aided design

Model the project proposal with raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animation, and simulation.

Week3

3: Computer-controlled cutting

Create a parametric press-fit construction kit. Use laser cutter and vinyl cutter.

Week4

4: Electronics production

Make an in-circuit programmer: PCB, soldering, programming a circuit board.

week5

5: 3D scanning and printing

Test 3D printing tolerances, design and 3D print a small object, 3D scan an object.

week6

6: Electronics design

Design and create a board with button, led, microcontroller, resistors, capacitors, resonator, 6-pin ISPSMD, FTDI connector.

week7

7: Computer-controlled machining

Make something big using plywood and a computer-controlled milling machine.

Week8

8: Embedded programming

Read your microcontroller datasheet and program your board to do something (led on; press button; input/output text).

Week9

9: Mechanical design; machine design

Make a machine, including the end effector. Build the passive parts and operate it manually.

Week10

10: Machine presentations

Automate your machine. Document the group project and your individual contribution.

Week11

11: Input devices

Measure something: Add a sensor to a microcontroller board that you have designed and read it.

Week12

12: Molding and casting

Design a 3D mold, machine it and cast parts of it.

week13

13: Output devices

Add an output device to a microcontroller board and program it to do something.

Week14

14: Composites

Design and build a wired and/or wireless network connecting at least two processors.

Week16

16: Interface and application programming

Write an application that interfaces with an input and/or output device that you made.

Week17

17: Applications and implications

Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered to show the mastery of the gained skills.

week18

18: Invention, intellectual property, and income

Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.

week19

19: Project development

Complete your final project, tracking your progress.
