You'd have to learn how to design IM plastic parts because those are the toughest draft, shrink, gating, etc.).
Why can't we have a fully accredited 4-yr degree in CAD? You'd have to extensively know your 3D geometry, how to construct difficult geometry. There are any number of "liberal arts" underwater basketweaving degrees that you can get that are 4 year degrees. You can get a 4-yr degree as a Packaging Engineer, learning how to design cardboard boxes and clamshells and other dunnage/packing materials. Thank God where I work now I can actually advance and am paid well instead of being stuck like in my last "perm" job.Īctually, I'll go further even. We need something better than the 2 year degree you might be able to get at, say, a community college. For the most part, I do a lot of work that would be considered an Engineer's work, but since I don't have the 4 year degree, I don't get paid at that level and certainly don't get any recognition for it. SRSLY? So why can't we have a CAD degree which involves proficiency with CAD, vaulting systems, minor programming (relations), a certain level of math proficiency, and a certain level of non-planar geometry proficiency. I mean, you can become a packaging Engineer for example, and get a 4 year degree in the design of cardboard boxes and plastic clamshells. On a similar note, but far more important, I feel accredited colleges absolutely NEED to have some sort of "CAD" degree. Where I am now, it doesn't matter, so don't care anymore. I'd heard that for a while PTC actually DID have a certification process, but I also heard that employers refused to value these users and didn't pay them anything more for having the certification, unlike in the IT world where you ARE paid for the certification.
Back when it mattered for me, I always wanted PTC to have a certification program, like there is for IT guys with Microsoft, networking etc.
