Focus Project

Students will develop and build a product from A-Z! They will be working in teams, where they learn how to structure problems and identify solutions to them, system analysis and simulation, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They will build the product, with access to a Machine shop, and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM).
