IEC recently organized a series of hands-on CAD training sessions followed by an exciting competition, providing students with valuable technical skills and practical experience. This initiative aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications, setting the stage for students to showcase their capabilities in the subsequent competition.
The training program consisted of two comprehensive sessions by peer mentoring from March 29 to April 13. Two expert trainers —JUBAID MAYIN UDDIN and MUSA PETHUEL BIGYEN, two postgraduates of IEC, introduced participants to fundamental CAD concepts and tools, then guided them through professional techniques including 3D/2D view generation and proper file submission formats. During the training, the classroom became a hub of learning, where the trainers’ expertise was complemented by an interactive teaching approach.
In the classroom, seasoned trainers with experience in CAD and related competitions delivered special lectures for the participants. Positioned in front of the blackboard and projection screen, they vividly expounded on key concepts and provided practical tips, illustrating them with real-world case studies. They either showcased intricate 3D models on the screen, or gathered around with the novice participants, engaging in one-on-one interactions to address their queries. The participants listened intently, with some enthusiastically taking notes, clearly deriving substantial benefits from these exchanges.
Armed with the knowledge and skills gained from the training, the participants were well-prepared to take on the challenges of the upcoming competition. Building on the training’s success, the participants joined the Advanced Graphical Technology and Product Information Modeling Innovation Competition on April 19, where skilled students demonstrated their newly acquired abilities in a challenging three-hour session. The event highlighted their technical proficiency and creative problem-solving skills.
Beyond the immediate outcomes of the training and competition, this endeavor reflects IEC’s broader educational philosophy. This series of CAD training and competition is not merely an event for students to acquire technical skills. It represents IEC’s unwavering commitment to cultivating well-rounded talents in the digital age. By providing such platforms, IEC not only equips students with practical abilities but also instills in them the spirit of innovation and the courage to explore.
