1-2 horas por semana. Building projects from scratch with commonly available materialsExperiencia de clase
Nivel de inglés: desconocido
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!
Metas de aprendizaje
The goal of this course is to encourage problem solving, creativity, and confidence in creating designs from scratch. This is at the core of engineering as a discipline. It goes beyond just building fun stuff, and beyond understanding how it works. This course dives into practice in the actual process of engineering and problem solving.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I have been an engineering all my life. Built my first robot from scratch as a pre-teen, followed by a career of engineering (mechanical, software, hardware, etc) for 4 plus decades. There are several patents in my name, and products that I built acquired by major companies. I am retired now, and desire to pass along the experience of a lifetime to the next generation.
