Engineering

Engineering an be understood as applied physics. Math and science are core components that can come with greater risks. Engineering goals include innovating current technologies and processes, manufacturing parts, CAD modeling, and project management. Managing risk in the engineering field can often come with much cost and diligence. Effective training is expected in order to work on certain industry projects. Preparation courses let you explore the field and CAD modeling is a basic way to get started.

CAD Modeling

Computer aided design (CAD) modeling lets engineers create virtual versions a component or product before manufacturing or 3D printing. Historically, there has been a heavy price tag on CAD software. With developments in technology, our classes are taught with software accessible on a laptop or a phone. Learn engineering principles for CAD modeling and develop a portfolio of projects to show off your talents.

Engineering CAD modeling develops a student’s spatial reasoning and problem solving skills. Not only must you be creative in your process of developing components virtually, you must also consider the end objectives of how the component will be manufactured and used in order to create a component successfully. Therefore, reverse engineering, starting at the end goal and working backwards, may be the way a student configures their components. Gaining transferable skills through engineering CAD modeling can show promising results for any student patient enough to learn and practice.

When you like to take things apart and figure out how they work, you are begin to think like an engineer. Many professional engineering positions require you pursue proper credentialing and course work. However, you can explore your passions for engineering with us. This class will help you develop the thinking skills and experiences to solve the major problems and create inspiring components to help assure you of your direction as an engineer.
