Everyone says to take Crane instead but honestly Kumar is not that bad. However, if you don't understand something he will not help you. He will look at you like you are an idiot and say why are you doing that, that is obviously wrong. But the courseload itself is easy enough if you understand how to think in 3-d, find a class groupme at the beginning and you should be totally fine.

I loved this class, it's very interactive and makes learning CAD accessible and fun.

Learned how to use SolidWorks and general rules about dimensioning and tolerancing. This class is useful for so many future classes in engineering, and it will be so helpful if you take it seriously and get good at CAD.

Crane is amazing, I cannot emphasize enough how patient and caring he is.

Go to office hours if you're struggling! Crane will be very patient with you

Super useful course, the introduction of engineering concepts applied to real life scenarios. Teaches you SOLIDWORKS and how it can be used to create real solutions.

Great professor, knowledgeable and entertaining.
