CAD Engineering Design With Fusion 360 - Level 2SP
Class experience
Welcome back to the world of Engineering Design! This is the Level 2 Class for CADD and Engineering Design with Fusion 360. Students will learn more about the engineering design process and how to use the software tools to design and modify product prototypes. Students will work on a project to model and modify a teapot. They will then learn how to combine the separate parts into an assembly and how to export the finished project into industry-standard design documentation. They will...

Week 1Lesson 1IntroductionIntroduction to the project and creating the teapot bottom piece using the revolve feature.Week 2Lesson 2Using the Loft FeatureModify an existing file to design and model a spout for the teapot using the loft feature.Week 3Lesson 3Reference Drawing and Form Sculpting ReviewUse a reference drawing and the form sculpting environment to create a handle for the teapot.Week 4Lesson 4AssemblyCreate an assembly using the files created in class and some additional pre-designed files that will be provided.Week 5Lesson 5SimulationLearn how to use Fusion 360's simulation features to test the teapot design.Week 6Lesson 6Review - documentation/rendering/exporting & AnimationLearn how to use documentation, rendering, and file exports to share your designs. Learn how to animate assemblies to create and demonstrate working models.Week 7Lesson 7Design ProjectCan you build a better teapot?Week 8Lesson 8Computer-Aided MachiningBeyond 3D Printing
Students will review and build on their skills using Fusion 360 for product design. They will learn lofting, more advanced assemblies, and how to use the simulation and animation features of Fusion 360.
I am a certified/licensed middle and high school teacher: Technology Education. Grades 6-12 (Texas) and Technology Education. REPA 3, Grades 5-12 (Indiana). I've taught CADD to high school students in both public and private schools and here on Outschool since 2013. I have almost 20 years of experience working with engineering and architectural firms before I became a teacher, so I have a good perspective on how these skills integrate into a real-world career.
Homework Offered
Since this is a self-paced class, the homework is to view the videos and supplemental material and work individually on the project. This is expected to take 1-2 hours per week. I am available for help if students don't understand or have problems implementing the lesson.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I give informal feedback to students with suggestions for improvement, if needed. I can give more formal assessment by parent or student request.Grades Offered
By request.
Students with learning differences are welcome in my class and I can provide accommodations by request.
They should have taken my Level 1 course or have equivalent Fusion 360 experience.
A 3-button mouse is very helpful for using the program vs. a trackpad.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students under 13 will need to have a parent create their account with Autodesk to be able to download the software from https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal.
Fusion 360 program; teaching resources from Autodesk Design Academy; YouTube videos may be shared by the teacher for design examples.
The classes I teach will help you learn how to use technology more effectively and learn how to turn your interests into academic and personal success. I have been a technology teacher for students in Grades 3-12 and have worked as a reading...
