Course Description

This course is a fast easy artistic approach to learning 3D CAD. This curriculum will open your eyes to an interesting world of patterns, shapes and creative design approaches. In effect this introduction to STEM is a collision of art, engineering and math.  The format is open ended, creative while challenging; a practical, easy to follow cookbook approach to developing spatial thinking.  You are free to work at your own pace, improving your skills independently of classroom pressures. Why take this course?  After ten years of (trial and error) teaching university students new to Mechanical Engineering and Artistic Design I have worked hard to develop content that works.

We will use the Siemens Solid Edge software.  This download is free to all students and is similar to Solidworks, Blender and Autodesk Inventor.

Fantastic presentation! Instructor gives short lessons illustrating many of the less obvious features of Solid Edge with real world practice demonstrations with which the learner may follow along. This is a much better approach for the student than attempting to learn from a book.

The course is very informative. I am amazed it is free. I was completely overwhelmed by solid edge, but now I feel like I am entirely in control.

Excelente elección. Sería mucho mejor si el curso fuera actualizado al año en el que estamos, usando Solid Edge 2020 ya que es muy diferente al ST8.

Some of the beginning sections repeat information from a previous beginner course (the basic getting started stuff) but i guess that is expected.

Incluso nel corso "SIEMENS Solid Edge Training & Certification for Students" dello stesso autore. Non fornisce particolari informazioni aggiuntive.

Really helped the tasks are easy to follow also, last time I did any CAD was back in college and was a lot different but this course gets your eye in.

By Babalola Adeniji on 2/14/2019

The course is good match for me as this is my first time with CAD software. My last experience with technical drawing was with a drawing board and T-square. CAD is definitely far more productive. Love it.

By Hasitha Prasad Samarasinghe on 10/3/2018

This course was in depth, step by step curriculum which will definitely suitable for beginners, even they haven't used any designing software package in their life. Thank you

Very good training. Good starting point to get hands on CAD 3D modeling. However, when you are not a student and want to learn CAD, it's difficult to continue learning CAD over a longer time with professional SW tools, because these are only available as trial versions for some weeks, this is not enough.

By Seth Hollingsead on 6/21/2017

I like this one because it gives me a chance to really practice. I know the commands and the stuff already but keeping pace with the presentation in real time is a bit of a challenge, so I can actually become skilled with the commands and tools!
