ME 203 Manufacturing and Design - Emphasis on prototype development techniques as an intrinsic part of the design process. Fundamentals of machining, welding, and casting introduced in lecture and supported by lab experience. Manufacturing pro cesses through lecture, films, and field trips. Design aspects developed in an individual term project chosen, designed, and fabricated by students. Taught Fall and Winter quarters.

ME 113 Engineering Design - Application of information from various sources to create designs and models of new mechanical devices. Design is studied as an activity and experienced by students as they work on a team design project. Final proje ct results are presented to a professional jury.

ME 115B Expression of Function - Numerous tightly constrained projects requiring reconciliation of manufacturing, human factor, and aesthetic concerns; solutions presented in a variety of design media.

ME 116A Advanced Product Design - Small-scale projects carried to a high degree of refinement. Emphasis is on craftsmanship and aesthetics.
