Mechanical Design With Intent

Course | Outcomes and capabilities
Machines and Mechanisms are the most common elements mechanical engineers calculate and design. In these courses, you will learn how to design machine elements in a hypothetical project we provide using Autodesk Inventor and one of its key productivity tools - Design Accelerators. The course focuses on best practices and WHY's behind certain decisions you have to make as a mechanical engineer.
