MTEC 1005 – Physical Computing Skills – FA2018 Toggle navigation

The goal of this course is to let students experiment and create electronic circuits and 3D prints. The class is divided into two main topics: 80% Electronics 20% 3D Printing. Each topic while have several modules. After each module students will have created a circuit, model, or 3D print. Students will be introduced how to create physical interfaces by learning how to program the Arduino micro controller. They will learn how to use sensors to translate physical interaction to output a sensory experience. Finally, they will design and print 3D models. Students will learn basic fabrication,modeling techniques, and processes used in 3D printing.
