ENT 3500 - Makers’ Workshop

Credits: 3

In a culture of consumption, the creation of a thing is an act of defiance. This course delves into diverse methodologies of creation, encompassing both material and immaterial forms. Through instruction in both low and high-fidelity prototyping across digital and physical mediums, students will acquire foundational knowledge spanning from clay modeling to digital fabrication, and from software programming to firmware development, along with wireframing and vector design. The program will conclude with the students crafting an artifact that synthesizes their acquired knowledge in creative making, resulting in the design of a toy tailored for a specific demographic.
