Additional information:

For online students:

The course will mainly be carried out as an online course of study. An online race means that all communication between supervisor and students is organized through a digital learning platform.

For all:

The course requires 3D modeling software to be used for exercises and assignments (free student versions available).

Use of your own laptop is required (the machine must be suitable for CAD).

The Autodesk Fusion 360 program works on Windows and Apple OS.
