Description

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.
