This is a true engineering class! You will be building unique actual things from scratch, not from a kit. Learn do engineering from design to completion! Explore and experiment!

This is intended as a companion class to my other engineering series, and concentrates more on the basic skills of design and building itself. Everything learned here will be used in the full engineering series. 

Through the 10 weeks there will be several assigned projects to build. Each project will range from 1 week to 3 weeks depending on complexity.  Class time is spent exploring concepts and options, and understanding the assignment. Then build time is between the weekly sessions.  A review of the designs will be done the following week at the start of class. 

All of the materials for these projects should be commonly available. Check the materials Section for a List of things necessary. Improvising with similar things is acceptable. The intention is to not have to buy anything extra for this class. 

Note: this is a fast moving course, projects each week, and high expectations! Its a lot of fun, but can be challenging at times.  In other words.. true engineering style!
