Drone Design & Development

Date Published

COURSE OBJECTIVES

  • The Drone Design and Development course aims to impart knowledge related to aerospace design engineer roles, focusing on solid modeling, wireframes, sketches, basic surfaces, and building assemblies.
  • The course provides hands-on experience using the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for CATIA, SIMULIA, and DELMIA.
