Fundamentals+-+First+Week

=Welcome to Fundamentals of Engineering!=

This class is going have a few pieces of software and tools necessary for you to complete the course effectively. We will review these skills in the first week of class, but they can be used and practiced with any the upcoming projects and topics.


 * Google SketchUp-** SketchUp is a free downloadable software used for designing you projects. It even has a 3D option for use with our 3D printer- The Makerbot Replicator. SketchUp is installed on all the computers in the Drafting Room, F007.


 * Makerbot "The Replcator"-** This 3D printer can be used to create any plastic object that you can design. These will be real, working objects that can be used for your projects!



**Band Saw-** This tool is also going to be very important to this class, and safe use of it are very important. Most of the pieces that need to be fabricated, can be done so on the band saw. Please take the Band Saw Test [|HERE]. All other safety test links can be found here!
