Thisapproach includes three components: (i) a process book, (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. The specific design skills that students learn and practice includeproblem scoping, brainstorming, sketching, generating and evaluating alternative schemes, andcritique. Additionally, through this project, students contextualize their understanding of thefundamental principles of solid mechanics. The merit of this project is that students cansuccessfully learn design skills in an existing introductory engineering

A novel hybrid technique, utilizing both additive and subtractive manufacturingtechniques, has been developed and implemented. This technique finds applications inproduction of shaped cavities/molds for casted metallic parts for various rapid prototyping andrapid manufacturing application. The proposed concept of simultaneous building and machiningof carbon shell sand molds for rapid prototyping (RP) of functional castings utilizes acombination
