Given Michigan’s strong local histories in manufacturing, institutionalized making, and innovative delivery of design, this course develops a conceptual and historical lineage of tools, technologies, and techniques. Through lectures and focused lab assignments, the course explores a spectrum of practices, from past to near future, in prototyping, construction, fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly, and provides exposure to recent developments in prototyping and fabrications in the College.
