Welcome to At Home Engineering The Course!
What are the tools engineers use in industry, and how can we bring them to our home?
Learn the best CAD programs to use at home and why. Then, we choose the best program there is to offer (professional and free).
Jumping into the program, we learn CAD fundamentals, and start designing.
We finish off the 4 fundamental designing methods of CAD.
Learn to bring motion to your design.
Starting high level, we go through all material options, and narrow down to a Go To list of materials for your designs. Metals, Plastics, Ceramics, and Composites.
These are the manufacturing methods to know, to design nearly any part.
We start designing a real product. Learn fast modeling techniques to put together rough 3D models of your design.
We finish off our 'first version' 3D model, and learn to think in 3 dimensions with our designs.
We start detailed designs of our solar light, and talk about where to place different components in your product.
Solar light design part 2. Enclosing your product.
Solar light design part 3. Fastening and connecting your product.
Solar light design part 4.
Solar light design part 5.
Solar light design part 6. Choosing materials from our Go To materials list.
Finishing the mechanical design of the solar light.
Choose and set materials in CAD, and learn to find properties of your product. Weight and moment of inertia.
Now that we've designed a full product, we learn to produce high quality images which can be used for marketing and more.
Modern manufacturing methods from our home. From our computer, we summon our parts to our door, to start building!
At Home Engineering The Course has helped thousands of people worldwide to learn CAD and product design.
This is the course to learn CAD, product design, and engineering fundamentals. I have over 8 years of experience designing and building in industry and research, and I have a Masters of Science in mechanical engineering from the U of MN. I was a mechanical engineer at Google [X], and I've worked with multiple world-leading researchers in technology.
After taking this course, you will be able to make custom parts from almost any material, including metal, plastic, ceramic, and composites, enhancing you through tools and knowledge. Using modern, professional, and free tools, I bring together the best of the internet to get you designing and building in 2021.
You'll Learn:
CAD from the ground up. What CAD program to use, the 4 methods to draw any part in 3D, and bringing your product to motion
Simplified materials: How to choose materials for your designs, whether a metal, plastic, ceramic, or composite -- AND when to choose them.
The 6 manufacturing methods to produce any part. You'll also learn programs and websites to get your parts made. With these 6, you can command real parts from your computer to your door.
How to produce quality 3D images that can be used for marketing
Design a product! I take you through a design from idea to final design
Check out the course outline.
I don’t just teach you CAD, I teach you CAD mindset and methods when you are designing. I teach you the list of “need to know” manufacturing methods. I simplify materials for you, and give you go-to materials that will meet almost all of your needs.
The course is built to get anyone up and running, drawing parts in 3D in a CAD program, and getting them made. Whether you want to build an idea you have, sharpen your design skills or are new to product design altogether, this course will take you there.
