The Daily Bruin

Did you know that the engineering department is offering a brand new course next fall and spring to all students? The ENGR285 (Introduction to the Maker Hub) course is designed to introduce students to the software and equipment available in the Maker Hub.

Topics include 3D modeling (used in 3D printing, waterjet machines), vector graphics (used by our laser-cutting and vinyl-cutting machines), introductory electronics (soldering and simple circuits with actuators and sensors), and basic programming and embedded control systems (implemented with Arduino).

The course will consist of several small projects and introduce students to our prototyping facilities, leather making, sewing, laser cutters, 3D printers, vinyl cutters, wood shop, machine shop, and welding equipment.

Sign up for this class on MyGFU today! Contact the Career and Academic Planning Center at careers@georgefox.edu for more information.
