One of our class assignments included learning how to use a CAD (computer assisted design) program called Inventor. With this program we developed images like that below of pallets and simple isometric designs.
Princilpes of Engineering is a course which I am taking at Ben Barber. This class helps you gain a better understanding of what it takes to make it in the engineering field. You learn a lot about problem solving, how to work with people, basic math skills involving gears, pulleys and wheels , how to create a case study and understanding how creativity go hand in hand with engineering.
