The foundation of engineering design is exploration and iteration. Design is rarely a perfectly linear and straightforward process. In this course, we explore a design for a traditional manufacturing method and use generative design to create the perfect iteration of it. From that point, we'll reverse engineer the generative design and recreate it for a traditional manufacturing method and explore the option of fabricating the generative version to weigh the pros and cons of each.

22 videos5 readings1 quiz1 discussion prompt
In Week 3, we’ll focus on comparing an original design to a generative design. Using the generative design to make informed decisions about a design path and ultimately creating a new generative inspired design. We’ll also look at performing a static simulation to ensure our new design meets the criteria set in our generative design study.
