The aim of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge of computer-aided design tools, enable the visualization of design ideas in a 3D design environment, and prepare the visualized ideas into presentation-ready sheets.
1. By the end of the course, it is expected that the student will have a good understanding of the general concepts of computer-aided design, be able to design and visualize using Fusion 360, and be able to convert their designs from two-dimensional freehand sketches to three-dimensional computer models.
