dfab / industrial design modules

The CAP makercorps is in the process of developing twelve training modules to assist faculty, staff, and students in the effective use of CAP digital fabrication and industrial arts technologies. The goal is to have these modules developed, refined, and operational for the Fall 2024 semester.

The first five modules have been published online as part of a trial program. Two undergraduate studios and one masters degree program are working through the modules as part of this formal review process.

Since these training resources are publicly accessible, it is possible that you are reviewing or utilizing these documents independent of our formal trial program. If so, we welcome your feedback and suggestions.

We hope that these modules will be used as standalone resources, incorporated into existing courses, taken as independent studies, and/or presented in the form of workshops or other training activities.

WHY?

The R. Wayne Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning is committed to preparing our students to excel in their career pursuits of expanding, retrofitting, and enhancing the built environment. In order to prepare our students to collaborate with allied professionals in the applied sciences, we continue to expand our industrial resources and develop knowledge in contemporary construction methodologies. The development of models, mock-ups, and small built work projects remains a critical component of design education and the fundamental understanding of form, material, fabrication, and purpose. The makercorps is one of many important initiatives to enhance the educational experience of our students.
