Associate Lecturer Mechanical CAD

• Jan 2011 - Sep 2012

Associate lecturer at Bridgwater College, delivering parametric 3D CAD modelling. Classes were run in the evening, where I would deliver content to 15-20 students with an age range of 25-50. I delivered a parametric 3D modelling and engineering course through Solidworks; largely I was left to structure the material myself along with assessments of my own making. To complete the course several examinations had to be passed, these were set by the awarding body. Associate lecturer at Bridgwater College, delivering parametric 3D CAD modelling.
