Future nuclear physic research requires the transport of high rigidity heavy ion beams. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) requires such beams with high momentum acceptance for future nuclear physics research. This will require larger aperture magnets that can still provide efficient and accurate steering and focusing. This dissertation will discuss the electro-magnetic (EM) design, beam impact, and mechanical design along with prototyping and testing of a 18 T/m gradient and 0.2 meter diameter aperture coil-dominated quadrupole, which will serve as a future upgrade for FRIB's fragment separator.
