Looking Back at 2015 and the CAD Growing Community!
by Aliza Wajih
It is hard to believe that a small community that started with just 4 initial CAD trainers we have managed to reach a number of over 15 in just under one years!
After our successful Autodesk Inventor training session in August, we successfully made our way into the Engineering Community at the University of Melbourne by working along side professor Colin Burvil.
CAD Training in August 2015
In our training session we trained six of professor Colins’s most brilliant students who then went on to teach postgraduate students of their cohort! (talk about the snowball effect!)
It makes me very happy to say that the course notes designed by Paul and I were used by the new trainers to teach the Inventor course! In other words our Autodesk inventor CAD curriculum was used to compliment the Masters and Bachelors course work for design subjects offered by unimelb!
This year we were able to help both postgraduate and undergraduate engineering students to develop their projects using Autodesk Inventor by holding a number of weekly drop-in sessions in August and September. Our popular drop-in sessions allowed students to gain knowledge of CAD as well help them refine their projects. Some outstanding work was produced, and here is just a snippet of it!

All students who came to the drop-in session and hacky hour were given access to our notes. We not only received great feedback but also requests for holding more training sessions!
This year, at ResBaz, I will be working with a few of our graduate trainers as well as other students from professor Colin’s class!
My New CADventurers!
I hope this year the CAD community continues to rise exponentially, just the way it has been going! Watch out for more future events and trainings!
