WEEK 06 - DESIGN PROJECT

DUE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK 

  • ​3M06 - 100 PTS

  • 3M07 - 100 PTS

Part 1 - Mechanical Engineering

In this part of the class, Mark introduces you to his end-to-end creative engineering process. He designs and constructs a mechanical engineering build from start to finish, using pneumatics, springs, and motors to solve a problem relating to food. Along the way, he explains how to come up with ideas, design a build, make a prototype, and test and improve on a design. You will follow along with Mark and create a personalized mechanical build of your own in the category of food, leveling up your skills as a creative engineer in the process.

INSTRUCTIONS

ASSIGNMENT 3M06

ASSIGNMENT 3M06

Show instructor a working proto type.

ASSIGNMENT 3M06

Show instructor final build.
