Limited to 8 students.
Prereq: —
Level: U 4 units Graded P/D/F;can use J/U grade
The Principles of designing, fabricating, and testing systems that can serve as housings for marine systems will be presented. Students will be taught the steps involved in turning a concept from an idea into a final working product. Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools will be introduced both for use as a 3-D modeling assistant and for use in developing final technical drawings. The manufacturing process will be addressed through hands on exposure to machine tools and procedures. Finally, the end product will be built by the students and tested in a tank or in the ocean.
