The Microstructure Design Technology program blends design, building and technology to empower students to make small, environmentally sustainable structures for needed housing or other uses. Students will get an introduction to steel fabrication and photovoltaic technologies, and utilize high technology such as the FrameCad steel framing extruder. Course work includes design, drawing/visualization, building, and PV (solar) panel skills so to enable students to quickly explore and implement innovative design solutions for microstructures or all kinds, including tiny houses. The program will also provide professional growth to expand the skills of incumbent workers in the design/build field, and can provide basic design/build skills for individuals who wish to engage in the development and building of affordable housing or emergency shelters.
