Introduction to Engineering students create assemble line!
On Tuesday, students in Introduction to Engineering completed our first ever Assembly Line Project in IED where they designed an assembly line process to manufacture automata boxes which will be used in projects later on in the year. The students did a nice job as we worked out kinks in our first run through of this new project in IED. Here is a playlist of the presentations for your viewing enjoyment.
