CNCs In UML Courses

The Hands-On MADE 4 ME project is being deployed in the sequence of design-based courses in the UML curriculum. These include:

• 25.107/108: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Desktop CNCs are used to perform several projects, including the Logo Design Project, CNC basics and a semester project. The semester project is a larger, more involved project that deals with common mechanical engineering concepts. The course focuses on Matlab programming, introductory mechanical engineering and design/prototyping/testing.
• 22.201/202: Mechanical Design Laboratory I & II: This two-course sequence exposes students to Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), measurements, manufacturing and the machine shop. Students participate in groups on a semester-long project.
• 22.321/322: Mechanical Design I & II: This two-course sequence exposes students to applied design. Projects include linkage, gear and cam design.
• 22.423: Senior Capstone Design: This course is the final design course in the undergraduate curriculum. Usually teams design, build and test a mechanical engineering solution. These semester- or year-long projects are intended to be intensive and represent the culmination of the student's undergraduate student career. We are always looking for interesting problems, so if you have one, please contact us for more information.

In addition to these courses, we also aim to expand the reach of the CNC laboratory to include projects in more "traditional" courses.

 

Please check back soon. More information will be posted in the near future.
