Goals and idea

The students are to be introduced to the use of CAD systems in order to subsequently deal with the more in-depth use. This takes into account the fact that CAD design is the basis for documenting and passing on technical ideas. It is also part of the course to teach the programming of automated design processes in CAD. In addition to CAD training, the CAD laboratory also actively uses CAD programs for student projects. By training and using the CAD programs, students are prepared for their work in technical functions. For this purpose, the CAD programs are used, which are employed in numerous companies in the automotive industry, automotive supply industry and mechanical engineering.
