Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- perform basic 3D-modelling and visualisation workflows using CAD software and is able to use the terminology of 3D-modelling
- apply previously learned CAD skills in more advanced CAD assignments and 3D-modelling
- compare different modelling techniques and formats.

Implementation and methods of teaching

In this course we will learn about parametric 3D modelling in Solidworks. The course includes exercises starting with the basic functionality of Solidworks. Students will learn how to create 3D models and visualise them.
The teaching methods of the course include learning situations where we learn step by step with the guidance of the teacher, student learning with the help of video material and small group projects where we learn from peers.
