The demand placed on today’s engineers goes above and beyond the job description. Products have become complex and engineers are more frequently asked to leave specialized roles and to take on a wide variety of tasks that are beyond their traditional responsibilities. These tasks are centered on form, fit, and function. Engineers need to factor in broader concerns such as cost, procurement, sustainability, manufacturability, and serviceability. Their role has moved away from individual responsibility to work as part of a collaborative engineering team, executing tradeoffs with both engineering and business stakeholders to meet project goals. These trends have forced today’s engineers to broaden their skill set to be successful.
Engineers today are required to be on the cutting edge of design innovation. This means not only understanding engineering principles that govern the title and role but also perfecting the toolsets needed to design and develop products.
Through this specialization, you’ll learn the foundations of applying computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and manufacturing principles while developing your technical skills within Autodesk Fusion 360.

What you will learn

 

•  Demonstrate creative confidence when choosing a design strategy for developing mechanical designs based on engineering requirements.

• Prepare designs for manufacture applying industry-based computer-aided manufacturing skills and manufacturing principles.

• Create adaptive tool paths to remove material from designs efficiently.

• Demonstrate simulation-driven design (SDD) for new product development.
