22 courses with the subject DDF, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
DDF 205Computer Aided Design I3
Introduces 3D computer aided design and drawing, rapid manufacturing. Students become acquainted with the virtual spaces of CAD software and NURBS geometry with the intent to output tangible objects through 3D printing. COURSE FEE.
This course furthers knowledge learned from DDF205, developing as advanced understanding of NURBS surfacing along with introducing organic modeling and mesh sculpting. Further application of 3D visualization technologies and advanced manufacturing will be emphasized. COURSE FEE.
This course focuses on fundamental concepts of programming (variables, conditional, iteration, functions, and objects) and then uses these concepts to create animations, graphics, sound and 3D-models. It also touches on more advanced techniques such as image processing, computer vision, data parsing and 3D graphics. COURSE FEE.
Selected topics courses are regularly scheduled courses that focus on a particular topic of interest. Descriptions are printed in the Schedule of Classes each semester. Selected topics courses may be used as elective credit and may be repeated for credit, provided that the topic of the course changes.

This course takes students though preparing and printing files on professional level 3D printers. Students will develop the hands on technical skills needed to operate and maintain a variety of industrial grade printers in the work force. They will use critical thinking skills to identify the material, method and machine best suited for a particular application. Students will have an opportunity at the end of the course to take an exam to receive Stratasys 3D printing certification. COURSE FEE.
DDF 310Introduction to Designing with Microprocessors3
This course introduces students to the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer technologies into the design of computer controlled electro-mechanical systems. Students will learn the basics of component creation and part selection for practical use. Programming and interfacing an industry standard microcontroller will provide the intelligence needed to sense, control, actuate, and communicate. Emphasis will be placed on the use of additive manufacturing (3D Printing) as the output platform. COURSE FEE.
This course introduces collaborative team research and interdisciplinary practices that approach real world challenges. Tenets of design practices include being human-centeredness, prototype-driven, and mindful of process. Topics include design processes/innovation methodologies, need finding, human factors, visualization, rapid prototyping, team dynamics, storytelling, and project leadership. COURSE FEE.

This course will expand upon skills developed in CAD I and CAD II and introduce alternative tools and techniques for the development of complex designs. Students will gather and manipulate 3D scan information, reverse engineer from scan data, develop an understanding of tri, quad, and n-gonal mesh topologies, and model multiple part assemblies.
This course takes students through preparing and printing files on professional level 3D printers. Students will develop the hands on technical skills needed to operate and maintain a variety of industrial grade printers in the work force. They will use critical thinking skills to identify the material, method and machine best suited for a particular application. Students will have an opportunity at the end of the course to take an exam to receive Stratasys 3D printing certification.
Fabrication process is concerned with the production of products and the manufacturing processes used to shape materials. Students will be exposed to rapid prototyping technologies that exist beyond 3D printing such as subtractive milling, laser cutting, and CNC.
