DRONE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Date Published


COURSE OBJECTIVE

 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.
