Interdisciplinary Arts 0148 - Women's Design and Fabrication

The intent of this course is to provide a supportive space for female students to acquire hands-on fabrication shop skills. Students will be introduced to the basic tools, equipment, machinery and resources available through the Lemelson Center. We will cover basic elements of design and project planning. Students will be expected to participate in discussions of their own and each other's work. Upon completion of the course, participants will have start-to-finish experience with several projects, a working knowledge of many tools in the shop, and the skills needed to go forward with their own ideas.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Course fee: $60.00 Students in this course are expected to spend at least six hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time. This time includes such things as design and fabrication work, project management and research and preparing a presentation.
