Fundamentals of Computer Aided Design

Anything you can sketch on paper can be molded in CAD software – buildings, household objects, tabletop games, sculptures, mechanisms, and much more. The class is taught with software tutorials in Autodesk Fusion 360, CAD software widely used by engineers, but also accessible and usable by non-engineers. No prior technical background is required.
