ABOUT THE COURSE
This is an introductory course in Computer-Aided Design (CAD). CAD is a way to digitally create 2D drawings and 3D models of real-world products. CAD design is essential across all engineering disciplines. Having a certificate in CAD design will help students and professionals obtain design-related jobs.
The main goal for this course is to give participants a practical experience in CAD design by working on various engineering design problems. The course was developed using the Creo Parametric 7.0 software application.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Create 3D parts using various features such as extrude, revolve, and patterns.
- Assemble parts by applying different types of connections and constraints.
- Create engineering drawings.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Ammar Abdo (PhD) is a former lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering,
Binghamton University, State University of New York (SUNY). He received his B.S. degree
in Biomedical Engineering from the Hashemite University in 2004, and his MS and PhD
degrees in biomedical engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2007
and 2013, respectively. His doctoral research focused on developing wireless microstimulators
for neural stimulation applications. He received his postdoctoral research training
at the Center for Neuroscience at UC Davis in studies related to neural mechanisms
underlying higher-order brain functions.
