The next video in the series is part one of a two part sequence on theengineering design process. Over the last three semesters 3D printing and computer-aided design(CAD) have been integrated into the course design project. Part one of the video uses the firsthalf of the engineering design process to 3D model a potential print to help with the courseproject.
