This grant will allow for the purchase of the DEPCO Design Suite which is designed to introduce students to 3D modeling and rapid prototyping. Using this technology, students will learn about reverse engineering, as well as how 3D modeling and rapid prototyping are used in the design process. For every process studied, students will learn about real world applications.
"Thank you EGEF for funding the Enhancing Design and Engineering Grant. Our students are truly blessed to have an organization within their community that believes in improving education and providing them with opportunities outside the norm. I am very excited about the learning experiences this grant will provide for our students. With this equipment, students will create 3D prototype models of their work that will allow them to test and redesign their work to maximize understanding and learning in a meaningful, hands-on way." - Steve Garneau
