The Importance of the Prototype

September 12, 2016September 23, 2016 Whitney MosierDesign Engineering, Engineering 101, Prototyping

For a design engineer, one of the greatest rewards of the job is to take an idea from concept and create a functioning end-product. It’s so rewarding because the path to get there is typically long with sometimes unforeseen obstacles […]

Technology Review: Onshape

January 11, 2016August 22, 2016 Roger TiptonDesign Engineering, Engineering 101, Innovation

For a design engineer, the ability to use MCAD (mechanical computer aided design) is one of his greatest assets. Using CAD, engineering teams can collaborate to create, edit, view, and share their designs. Traditionally, CAD programs such as SolidWorks, Creo, and […]

Everything is Made of Something

January 3, 2016November 19, 2016 Roger TiptonEngineering 101, Materials Science

Since everything is made out of something, so we thought it a perfect time for a quick discussion about material characteristics. “Inventing is the mixing of brains and materials.  The more brains you use, the less materials you need.” – Charles […]
