Study Materials

File decompression software, such as Winzip® or StuffIt®, is required to open the .zip files in this section. The .zip files contain additional files which require software as well. MATLAB® software is required to run the .m files. Mathcad® software is required to view and run the .mcd files. Microsoft® Excel software is recommended for viewing the .xls files. Free Microsoft® Excel viewer software can also be used to view the .xls files. OMAX® Software is required to run the .ord files. SolidWorks® software is required to run and view the .sldprt and .sldasm files.



Handouts Overview


It is not necessary to read all of the handouts included here. However, you will benefit from briefly scanning all of the handouts to get a feel for what is available. You can then come back at a later time and read in detail the handouts that apply directly to your design. If you have any ideas for information that would be useful to have access to during the design phase let one of the staff know. The goal of these handouts is to make your design work easier and better.
