CEVE 445: ORIGAMI ENG
Fall 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 13987
This course introduces the key concepts of origami engineering, covering the science, art, and skills required to design and manufacture origami-inspired systems. Students will explore the properties of origami patterns and learn the principles for designing them. The course integrates fundamentals of solid mechanics with folding and geometry to examine structural and material phenomena, including single-degree of freedom kinematics, bi- and multistability, anisotropy, and auxeticity. The course features a hands-on component that allows students to engage directly in the prototyping of origami structures, making use of the facilities and resources available at the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen (OEDK). Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CEVE 545 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CEVE 445 if student has credit for CEVE 545 .
