STUDIO
A collaborative and creative environment with state of the art multi-media studio,
CAD stations and model shop providing students with a project-based, hands-on learning experience from Ideation to Prototyping. Students will develop industry-driven skills from rapid visualization sketching
to model-making, prototype development and technical communication/ drafting. They
will learn to use a wide range of software and equipment such as 3D parametric solid
modeling and drafting (SolidWorks CAD), CAM software, PhotoShop, Illustrator, 3D printing,
laser cutting, manual and CNC machining, vacuum-forming, injection-molding, fiberglass
layups, silicone mold-making, sheet metal fabrication, finishing and painting and
much more.

Metal Lathe
Precision machined components are essential. Manual machining is a critical skill
for designers and engineers alike.

Foam Prototype Development
Foam material allows students to experiment with and visualize multiple variations
of a product before committing to a final design
