BASIC COURSE OUTLINE

This entry-level course introduces Autodesk Inventor features necessary to create, edit, analyze, and print 3D models and drawings. This material provides fundamental training material for Autodesk Inventor users. Upon completion, you will be able to construct parts and assembly models of moderate complexity and generate 2D drawings with bills of materials. Note: The student files necessary to complete the hand-on exercises for this courseware are located on the CD included with the course manual. This well written manual by a Mechanical Engineer is a 768 page student guide.

PRACTICE ON A SAMPLE ASSEMBLY PROJECT
Every student will do a project. The project can be any assembly and will then generate its drawing views and create a presentation of the assembly by animating it.  The project will involve about 6 to 7.5  hours of work.

PERSONAL TUTORING
As the students are assumed to be new to Inventor, the course instructor will act as a project coordinator, instructor and personal tutor on the practice exercise so that the students can learn first hand from the trainer's experience; their errors are turned into a valuable learning experience.
