dc.description.abstractIn this study, we attempt to compile all the CAD-related concepts, contents and working methods that students of mechanical engineering should learn at universities. To do so, we first study the background to CAD-related methodologies. In second place, we compile the results of surveys administered over the past three years to our students of CAD studying mechanical engineering at our university. In third place, different publications in the literature relating to the need for CAD in industry are studied to understand the sort of CAD training that is needed in industry. In fourth place, an exploratory analysis is performed of the CAD-related contents taught at the 50 universities that top the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) ranking. In fifth place, a survey of possible CAD-related contents is administered to teachers, instructors, and experts in CAD from those 50 leading universities in the QS ranking. The basic pillars of modeling in 3D are: methodologies of modeling, solid modeling, assemblies, and the design of technical drawings. The use of 3D printers in CAD learning means that thinking, designing, and manufacturing any object is easy at university. Knowledge of top-down/bottom-up/in-context methodologies has to be widened both for industry and for students. Design intent must be introduced in CAD from the very beginning so that all the models are flexible and robust. The students expressed a preference to learn the concepts through a set of good practice exercises and to be evaluated by completing a final course assignment of their choice.es
