Learn to work across the full professional engineering software stack — CAD, CAE, FEA, CFD, BIM, simulation, PCB design, GIS, numerical computing, programming, automation, digital twins, and AI-assisted engineering — and how to integrate them into one reliable workflow instead of a set of disconnected tools.
20 modules in 4 phases, with worked examples, interactive tools, labs and a quiz in every one, and a certificate of completion.
Record model inputs, numerical results and an independent check.
Every module in this program has focused on one software domain in relative isolation, which is a deliberate teaching simplification — no real engineering project actually stays within a single domain. A genuinely typical project might start with GIS terrain and site data (Module 8), move through CAD design (Module 1) and BIM coordination (Module 5), require FEA and CFD analysis (Modules 3-4) on critical components,…

A simply supported 6 m beam carries one point load. Move the load and determine the left support reaction.
Left reaction = P × (6 − x) ÷ 6; right reaction = P × x ÷ 6
Static point load on a pin-and-roller beam; self-weight, distributed loads and capacity checks are excluded. This free exercise does not mark a paid module complete.
