COURSE FOUNDATION
What Students Will Learn
Students progress from parametric CAD fundamentals to functional mechanical design, assemblies, prototyping, and engineering iteration.
Fusion 360 Workspace
Navigate the Fusion 360 interface, browser, timeline, views and core modeling tools.
Parametric Sketching
Create accurate sketches using dimensions, constraints and engineering intent.
3D Features
Use extrude, revolve, fillet, chamfer, patterns and other feature-based tools.
Mechanical Parts
Design functional components that fit, move and work together.
Multi-Part Assemblies
Organize components and understand how mechanical parts interact.
Fit & Tolerances
Learn practical clearances and design decisions for 3D printed assemblies.
Design for 3D Printing
Prepare engineering models for reliable prototyping and fabrication.
Test & Iterate
Evaluate prototypes, identify improvements and revise CAD designs using engineering feedback.
WHO IT IS FOR
The Next Engineering Step
Fusion 360 Engineering Design is designed for students who want to turn imagination into three-dimensional characters, objects, and creative projects.
Basic CAD familiarity is helpful but not required. The course combines parametric modeling, mechanical thinking, 3D printing, assembly, testing, and iterative improvement.

FAQ
Common Questions
Does my child need previous Fusion 360 experience?
No. We introduce the Fusion 360 workflow step by step. Previous CAD experience can help but is not required.
What makes this different from the Onshape course?
Onshape builds CAD engineering foundations. Fusion 360 moves further into mechanical product design, multi-part projects, prototyping, assembly, testing, and iteration.
Will students 3D print their designs?
Yes. Suitable projects are prepared for 3D printing so students can assemble, test, and improve real prototypes.
What is the capstone project?
Students complete a functional multi-part engineering project using the full Design → Print → Assemble → Test → Improve cycle.
What can students take after Fusion 360?
Fusion 360 provides a strong bridge into robotics, product development, advanced CAD, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing-focused projects.
Design It. Build It. Test It.
Give your student the skills to turn engineering ideas into functional CAD designs, prototypes, and real-world mechanical projects.
