Cool new course from Arizona State University Earned Admission, the old and new again name for Universal Learner:

RAS 210 Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

Quote:Overview

Provides a basic understanding of solid modeling, engineering drawings and principles of modern-day 3-axis, 4-axis machine tool control using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software tools. Emphasizes transferring part geometry from CAD to CAM for the development of CNC-ready programs. Also investigates industry file formats, machining strategies, G & M code generation, optimization and verification techniques within the CAD/CAM software tool. Emphasizes the concurrent nature of ideation, engineering drawing-based communication, basic engineering analysis and manufacturing as students review case studies and develop their own models via geometric modeling and descriptive geometry to assist in problem visualization and prototyping with 3D printing and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing machines.

What you’ll learn

• Design complex 3D solid models and assemblies using Autodesk Fusion, incorporating sketching, constraints, and parametric modeling techniques
  
• Produce detailed 2D engineering drawings that accurately communicate design intent through the application of templates, views, annotations, symbols, and GD&T standards
  
• Translate CAD models into CAM-ready formats and generate CNC toolpaths for milling, turning, laser cutting, and 3D printing operations
  
• Apply rendering techniques, material assignments, and basic animation tools to visualize and communicate product functionality
  
• Write, interpret, and optimize G-code instructions for CNC manufacturing and validate toolpaths through simulation and verification tools
  
• Collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams to conduct reverse engineering projects and develop CAD models and engineering drawings based on physical prototypes
  
• Demonstrate strategic and self-directed learning by independently acquiring and applying new CAD/CAM tools, techniques, and methodologies to enhance design and manufacturing outcomes
  
• Communicate technical information effectively to diverse audiences through engineering documentation, presentations, and collaborative team deliverables

Degree Goals:

• BA in CS and BS in CIS (double degree)
  
• Associate in Science in Business Administration
  
• Associate in Science in Mathematics
  

• (Long-term goal: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science (and possibly an MBA))

• Fastest possible path to degree completion
  
• Pick courses that are relatively easier and can be completed in shorter timeframes
  
• Cost efficiency without compromising future transferability
  

I’ll word it out this way;
1) I have an MBA in management & leadership (useless), MSc psychology (useless) and bachelor’s in psychology from Canadian university.  I want to do something that whether is like a glitch, my gpa for my schooling isnt that good but is their like any certificate or program that’ll help me get a job? For some reason after all the hunting i thought Harvard Business School online - business analysis certificate may help me become a business analyst? I’m not sure but it seems everything is too tough to get a job afterwards. Has anyone done any glitches that got them a good job?

Hello All,

This might have been answered already. I am wondering does the BSBA program at TESU allow students to pick a mix of business classes for the area of study? Or do we have to pick one area of study and stick with it? 

I’m very interested in various areas of business and based on this webpage, it looks like you can pick and choose classes. I could be wrong, but thank you for the reply.

Hey all,

Not that I want to be a programmer. But I would just like to learn more about programming, software, etc.

I think that the UofP BCS could be a good affordable option. Since I already have a Bachelor's degree I would only have to take 10 classes from what I understand and at $160 per course, that would only cost me $1600 for another degree.

Does any have a list of which 10 courses I would need to take specific to the program?

Alternatively are there other cheaper ways to add programming knowledge via coursera, udemy, etc?

Hello everyone,

I recently received an email from TESU about a scholarship, which says I can take 2 general education TECEP exams for free. I have a few questions about TECEP and would like to ask for your help.

1. Many people on the forum register for 1-credit TECEP exams, but I want to register for Writing for Success and Writing for Success II, which seem to be 3-credit courses. Can my scholarship fully cover their costs?
   
2. If I fail the exam, will it affect my GPA? And will it appear on my transcript?
   
3. The email says this scholarship can only be used for TECEP in the new semester starting from October 1st. If I register for TECEP now, do I have to start registering for and studying my other courses right away? I originally planned to start registering for and studying other courses in December.
   

I've been teaching myself Koine Greek* in my spare time and thought it would be cool if I could find a way other than a PLA to get credit for it.
I'd much prefer a simple CBE test of some kind. I'm doing TESU if that matters.

Has anyone done this? 

I know its unlikely but a cursory search hasn't come up with any results. I'm now studying for about 21+ credits in the next couple months and don't have a ton of time to hunt for it so thought I'd ask on the offchance someone's already done it.

Thanks in advance.

*Not modern Greek, pretty different. A dead language, "Ancient" or "New Testament" Greek.

Hi everyone, I'm getting a little confused on the double minor this with the B.A.S./B.L.S., and could use some advice:

I am officially starting Fall 2. All my gen eds (and some of the required other business classes) are complete. I have transferred in 6 UL elective credits from Sophia (Business Law and Business Ethics). 

The only classes I need to take to finish the B.A.S. Management are:

1. Bus 141
   
2. Bus 321
   
3. Bus 415 
   
4. Bus 353
   
5. Bus 335
   
6. Bus 469
   

It's been a while since I've asked the forum any questions, but I'm going over the hump in my DBA program and I'm looking forward to the research portion of it at TESU. I have nothing but stellar things to say about the program and it has introduced me to a lot of areas that I was unfamiliar with initially. For those that have done research in the field of business, what were some topics or trends that you discovered and wrote about? I am beginning to cogitate on my topic as I prepare for the lengthy research portion of my program.

Seems as though there has been an increase in ACE recommended courses for Coursera. Some of these look like they have been reevaluated/extended, but there appears to be a couple of new ones by Microsoft. I might have to give some of these a try:

Microsoft 365 Fundamental: 3 credits

Microsoft AI and ML Engineering: 6 credits

Microsoft Business Analyst: 4 credits

Microsoft Public Relations and Communications Associate: 3 credits

Also, I'm not sure if I recognize any of them, but it looks like Facebook has some too -- I don't recall seeing them before, but their start date shows 10/01/2023:

Android Developer: 10 credits

Back-End Developer: 10 credits

Database Engineering: 10 credits
