E1059: 3D Printing: The technology of the future in Splash Spring 2023 (Apr. 23, 2023)
In this brief course, you will be introduced to the amazing technology of 3D printing. You will learn the most common types of 3D printing and why it is a revolutionary manufacturing method for our society. You will also learn some awesome applications of 3D printing: do you know that you can 3D print a heart now ?


E1060: Mechanical Engineering 101 in Splash Spring 2023 (Apr. 23, 2023)
This course is for students to learn about what the major of mechanical engineering is like in college. Besides some well known subjects such as robotics and aerospace, mechanical engineering actually contains more, such as control, heat transfer, material, manufacturing, energy, and so on.


E965: Mechanical Engineering 101 in Splash Fall 2022 (Oct. 29, 2022)
This course is for students to learn about what the major of mechanical engineering is like in college. Besides some well known subjects such as robotics and aerospace, mechanical engineering actually contains more, such as control, heat transfer, material, manufacturing, energy, and so on.


E966: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes in Splash Fall 2022 (Oct. 29, 2022)
Have you ever had questions about how the objects around you are made? Do you know what processes are involved in manufacturing a car, LEGO, IKEA furnitures, and so on? Can we 3D print a car? Come to learn about different manufacturing processes. We will have an emphasis on 3D printing at the second half of the course!


E866: Introduction to Bioprinting in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 16 - Oct. 29, 2022)
This course is serving as an introduction of the field of bioprinting / regenerative medicine. We will be learning the basic prnciples of various 3D printing methods and how they are being applied to bioprinting and what are their advantages and disadvantages.


E777: Introduction to Manufacturing with an emphasis on 3D printing technology in Splash Fall 2021 (Oct. 30, 2021)
