Engineering a Smart Object - Intro to Systems & Fabrication

EE 185A/B/C is a full-year sequence that teaches all of the concepts, knowledge, skills, and techniques to engineer all aspects of a smart object. Students learn to specify and analyze designs precisely, such that the first version of the object constructed works exactly as expected. This first course focuses on building an object to specification. Students will learn and use modern fabrication methods including machine tools (milling machine, lathe, etc.), laser cutters, and 3D printers to demonstrate their ability to build it right the first time. Course prerequisites: Physics 43 (or equivalent) and ENGR 40M or instructor approval.
