CORNERSTONE DESIGN - Skills Labs
Conceptualization, visualization, and graphical representation are critical parts of the technical problem-solving process. So is prototyping and iterating your idea as you go. Part of the Design 151 (EDNS 151) course is an accompanying competency-based lab which teaches these important skills through seven competency-based modules:
1. Spatial Visualization – A requisite skill for success in engineering and science
2. Technical Sketching – Application of technical drawing standards
3. Field Sketching – Freehand representation of ideas & concepts
4. Workshop – Hands-on skills to create physical prototypes
5. MS Excel – Formulas, syntax, calculation, data representation
6. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) – SolidWorks
7. Working Drawings – CAD-generated professional-style representations of your designs
The goal of all of these modules is for students to learn workplace tools applicable in technical careers and required for proficiency on course deliverables
