ESC 104 - Graphical Mechanism Synth

Course Units:

Early engineers relied on intuition and graphical techniques to design mechanisms throughout history, this course explores these graphical techniques. Many of these techniques are still in use today to provide insight into engineering problems and to solve contemporary challenges. The course also explores multiple techniques used to develop innovative mechanism designs. The course is appropriate for non-engineering, non-science, and engineering majors alike. As part of the course, students will identify a challenge they encounter and will be lead through the human centered design process to create a functional prototype of the solution. CQ: GETS ISP: STS
