Autodesk Fusion 360 を使用したコンピュータ支援製図 (CAD) - レベル 1SP

This class covers the same content as the live format class, but you will access the lessons, complete the assignments, and contribute to classroom discussions on your own schedule during the week.

We will learn the basics of the Fusion 360 interface, learn about the engineering and design process, and talk about "engineering fails" -- historical failures caused by bad engineering design.  We will learn how to create a basic 3D object, and then we will start an ongoing project where we design a desk lamp shade, supporting arm, and base.

Throughout the course, there will be video and PDF instructions for the project.  In addition, students will have assigned short videos or articles about engineering design, industry or careers to access during the week.  They will then engage in weekly online discussions about these with the teacher and each other.  All students are required to dialogue with each other (via a written thread on the Outschool page) in response to these assignments and discussion prompts.

Students will submit their weekly progress by submitting or sharing their Fusion 360 files on the Outschool class page and will receive detailed feedback from the teacher.  They will be able to make improvements and resubmit any corrections or improvements throughout the course.  Students who need grades for a transcript may request written grades/progress report from the teacher.

Students do not need any prior engineering or drafting experience, but they do need good basic computer skills and a fast internet connection.  We will be using Autodesk Fusion 360, an industry-standard cloud-based design platform, which can run on 64-bit operating systems on either Windows or Mac-based PCs.  At least 3 GB RAM and a good graphics card are required.  (Program may run on less, but may have issues or be slow.) The program is free for students and grants a three-year educational license.  Instructions on how to sign up for the educational license and download the software will be given prior to and in the first class meeting.
