Course Information
Description
A comprehensive application of the Mechanical Design Technology program, in which student design teams will ultimately complete a Design Portfolio through the implementation of the Design Project Plan, previously developed in the Engineering Tech. Project Management course. The DPP will be carried out through the MDT program Design Process model, and the final design project work for this course will be documented in a Design Project Notebook. Student design teams will make a formal team design project presentation at the conclusion of the semester, which may include the actual working product prototype.
