DESCRIPTION
The Problem with Design Classes Intro: Kitted, procedural, process emphasis – One size doesn’t fit all; lack of engagement Senior: Open-ended, high expectations What about the middle? – Fabrication, manufacturing – Selection of components – Procurement, timeline mgmt. No singular class to intro. and exercise practical conceptsTRANSCRIPT

The Problem with Design Classes• Intro: Kitted, procedural, process emphasis– One size doesn’t fit all; lack of engagement
• Senior: Open-ended, high expectations• What about the middle?– Fabrication, manufacturing– Selection of components– Procurement, timeline mgmt.
• No singular class to intro. and exercise practical concepts

The Inspiration• MIT student making scene– MITERS club
• Peer learning• Cross-pollination• Open environment
![Page 5: Designing a Better Design Class Electric Vehicle Design at MIT](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b437f8b9ab0599a2696/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Goal• Known challenge– Open-ended path
• Build skills early– Fabrication and hardware
• Spec out own parts– Live with bad decisions– Account for timeline
• Drive it and Fix it– Next level of engagement
