Course Description (Syllabus):

 

Welcome to the course "The CAD Revolution!"

 

This course is designed to explore the cutting-edge integration of IoT, Big Data, AI and Immersive Realities with CAD and their impact on engineering and design processes. Throughout this course, we will delve into the benefits, challenges, and real-world applications of these technologies with CAD.

 

The field of CAD has evolved significantly since its inception, and the integration of these emerging technologies promises to change the way we design and engineer products. The need for this integration arises from the increasing complexity of modern design challenges, the growing volume of data generated by IoT devices, the need for better collaboration and design analysis, and the potential for AI to enhance CAD capabilities. By integrating these technologies with CAD, we can improve design efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration, as well as enable new applications and services.

 

By the end of this course, you will have an understanding of the benefits and challenges of integrating IoT, Big Data, Immersive Realities, and AI in CAD. You will also gain insights into real-world applications and case studies that demonstrate the potential of these technologies to revolutionize the field of Computer Aided Design.
