I am a sophomore in the TAM program and also minoring in Computer Science. I have quite a broad skill set that encompasses all aspects of design.
Skill sets:
- Laser cutting
- 3D Printing
- 3D modeling in Rhino
- Basic wood shop needs
- Coding(C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Some arduino experience
- Graphic design in programs like Illustrator/Photoshop
- Photography
Aspirations:
- I want to get more hands on experience with arduino/micro controllers
- Work with CNC machines
- Further develop my sketching skills

I think TAM gives you a strong skillset for design, which will be valuable in this class. I like your website too!
I can certainly relate to these skill sets as another TAM major. It would be very cool to see some of the projects that you have completed thus far in the TAM realm relating to the physical products. I really like your website (same WEB class right?) and the way you have your digital work presented in a clean fashion. I hope you are able to explore some of your aspirations in this class. Are there any TAM/engineering classes that you are taking right now that will aid you moving forward?
How are you incorporating Arduino (and other microcontrollers) into your work? What is it that you would like to be able to do with those technologies?
What do you do to keep up on your sketching skills? I am not personally familiar with the TAM program, so I do not have a basis for understanding where your sketching skills are. Have you explored mediums other than pencil and pen?
