Course Title:

Certificate course on Computer Aided Engineer (CAE)/ Finite Element Analyst (FAE)

Course Description:

This course offers an in-depth exploration of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), focusing on their application in product design, simulation, and optimization. Students will learn the fundamental concepts of FEA, including the theory behind structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis. The course emphasizes hands-on experience with industry-standard CAE software tools to perform simulations, evaluate material behavior, and predict product performance under various conditions. Topics include meshing techniques, boundary conditions, solving techniques, and post-processing results for interpretation. Real-world case studies and projects will help students apply theoretical knowledge to engineering challenges in automotive, aerospace, and other industries. By the end of the course, students will gain the skills needed to perform effective engineering simulations and contribute to product development processes.
