Experience a fun and creative teamwork challenge by participating in a week of hands-on, authentic engineering design practices. This summer design curriculum is based on CSM's unique college-level EPICS program, which integrates technical, team and communication skills to solve an open-ended problem.
Examples of proposed challenges might include designing a self-propelled vehicle, robot games, flying machines, throwing devices, or pumps..
The camp's schedule will follow these steps toward project completion:
- Identify key design issues and brainstorm options
- Develop a design plan
- Construct and test prototype components
- Assess product value to create a marketing strategy
- Showcase your work in competition and celebrate team success
CSM faculty members will guide your team through the design process and help you develop skills in
- sketching and solid modeling
- acquisition of data via research and inquiry
- computer graphics
- soldering and foam core construction
