2. Entry requirements

Basic qualifications and completed basic course, MT1101 Computer Aided Design and Drawing Standards, part 1 (or equivalent).

3. Objective and content

3.1 Objective

During the course the student obtain knowledge of how modern systems for construction work and product development are used, moreover so when creating complex surface and solid models.

3.2 Content

The course contains of among others following elements:

• Introduction
