Mechanical Computer Aided Design and Drafting forms the basis for designing and producing tools, machinery, and products – everything from a power-producing machine like a turbine to power-consuming products, be it automobiles or home appliances.
Core competencies / Key processes
Mechanical engineers are engaged in the following product development processes:
Popular CAD / IT / PPM Software
Mechanical engineering is a technology intensive profession. To excel as a mechanical engineer it is inevitable for a student/professional to master the following CAD tools, scientific techniques, and project management
CAD Software
CAD is widely used in every stage of product development in mechanical engineering - right from sketching to manufacturing.
Following are the key CAD tools used in mechanical engineering:
AutoCAD
CATIA
CREO
Autodesk Inventor
HVAC
ANSYS
NX CAD
Solidworks
Microstation
Programming
Knowledge in programming in specific computer languages help mechanical engineers create and automate applications especially for analysing and validating their product ideas. Using programming languages, they can create Artificial Intelligence applications
Python for Engineers
C programming
Java
C++
GD&T
Short for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, GD&T is a system for defining and communicating design intent and engineering tolerances. This information helps in controlling variations in manufacturing processes.
Project Planning and Management
Project management in mechanical engineering is concerned with planning, controlling, and completing product development life cycle while meeting the time, cost, and quality goals.
Courses Offered
CADD Centre offers hundreds of courses for mechanical engineers under the following categories:
Proficient Certificate
Duration : 80Hrs
The courses offered under the Proficient category helps students learn all the features of a particular CAD software that are used for different applications.
Imparting mastery in two or more different CAD software (standalone and even competing software) is the objective of the courses offered in this category. The ultimate objective is to help students gain productivity in a particular function.
These courses equip students with an entire spectrum of CAD skills for a job function, using multiple CAD software, cutting across a wide range of popular CAD product suites.
