This advanced Mechanical CAD Design package is designed to transform engineering students and professionals into industry-ready Mechanical Design Engineers. By combining the industry's most in-demand CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo Parametric, and CATIA V5) with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), this course delivers a complete 3D modeling and product design foundation.
1. Who is this class for?
This course is ideal for mechanical, automotive, production, and aerospace engineering students, diploma holders, product designers, drafters, and working engineers who want to master multi-software CAD modeling and manufacturing drawing standards.
2. What will the students learn in this class?
- SolidWorks: Part modeling, assembly design, sheet metal, weldments, surfacing, and production drawing creation.
- Creo Parametric: Sketcher, 3D parametric modeling, advanced assemblies, mechanism design, and drawing views.
- CATIA V5: Part design, generative shape design (surfacing), assembly design, and drafting workbenches.
- GD&T (ASME Y14.5): Datum features, form, orientation, location, runout tolerances, Material Condition Modifiers (MMC/LMC), and reading industrial drawings.
- Real-world project workflows and industry best practices for mechanical design.
3. Is there anything the students need to bring to the class?
Students must have a 64-bit laptop/PC with adequate graphics specs (minimum 8GB RAM, dedicated GPU recommended) with SolidWorks, Creo, and CATIA installed. A standard 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel is required.
4. Are there any prerequisites for this class?
Basic knowledge of mechanical engineering concepts, engineering graphics, or technical drawing fundamentals is beneficial. No prior CAD software experience is necessary.
