A
Haas Technical Education Center (HTEC) resides within the Fabrication
& Prototyping Area. 
 The
Fabrication & Prototyping Area services a variety of undergraduate
academic project work.
These courses include:
- Introduction to Engineering Design
A first course in engineering design which emphasizes creativity,
teamwork, communication, and work across engineering disciplines.
Students do a semester-long project which provides a design-build-test
experience.
- Advanced
Manufacturing Laboratory (AML) Courses
AML I -- Theory and laboratory experimentation
in manufacturing technologies. Topics include robotics and
assembly, injection molding, vacuum forming, rapid prototyping,
computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools, metal
forming processes, and industrial safety.
AML II -- Students are organized into “companies”
to design and build a manufacturing system to produce a
production batch of 600 copies of a product based on the
technologies of AML I.
- Multidisciplinary Capstone Courses

The Fabrication & Prototyping Area of
the O.T. Swanson Multidisciplinary Design Laboratory offers
students from a wide-variety of engineering disciplines, the
latest manufacturing technologies.
The facility includes;
On-staff manufacturing technician who supports
students in the production/assembly of prototypes, tooling,
critical design elements, and testing apparatus associated
with their project work.
