Key Summary
About: This university certificate trains you in computer-aided simulation and CAD across four modules. It's for engineers, technical professionals, and technical-degree students. You'll learn virtual product development, CAD features, and tool use, then consolidate learning through three written exams and one project, earning the university certificate. AKAD University evaluates the continuing-education content and the credits earned may be credited in transfer procedures.
Career Outcomes: You'll be prepared for roles in design and simulation, including CAD specialist, simulation engineer, design engineer, CAE analyst, product development engineer, and technical manager. These careers use skills in CAD, virtual prototyping, simulation, and product optimization.
Before a newly designed component can go into production, it must undergo extensive testing. This is done using computer-aided simulation, which this course will introduce you to. The knowledge you gain will increase your chances of securing an attractive position as a specialist or manager in industry. As part of the design team, you will develop, plan, and optimize technical concepts, ultimately representing them as simulations using a CAD system. This course is suitable for both engineers and technical professionals, as well as students in technical degree programs. The learning content of this certificate course is divided into four modules. First, you will gain an overview of virtual product development, including computer-aided design. You will become familiar with the specific features of the tools and learn how to use them effectively. Towards the end of the course, you will consolidate your acquired knowledge and demonstrate it in three written exams and a project.
You will receive the university certificate after successfully completing three exams and one assignment.
The continuing education content is evaluated at AKAD University with the credits earned and credited at this level in possible credit transfer procedures.
