CATIA Course Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application New opportunities bind innovation at Cambridge which has led to 22 students from Years 11 and 12 carrying out the CATIA course for 6 months in our school as an after school activities on Thursday (September 2015 to March 2016). They had covered Sketcher Design, Part and Component Design, 3D - Assembly design and modelling, drafting 2D and 3D industrial drawing components. CATIA is the leading software solution used to develop a broad range of products across the world. It is used to design, simulate, analyze, and manufacture products in a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, and industrial machinery. The CATIA course was initiated by Dr.Frithi Herbert with guidance and support of our School Principal Mr.Jason Jonathan King. The CATIA course was conducted by Mr.Frinson and he guided the students to do the component drawing as a project for the company using the CATIA software for – Osborne Aluminium & Glass Abu Dhabi. The students were given challenging component drawings and they exhibited their CATIA Drawings (Print outs and Soft copies) to Mr.Ali Hamzeh the General Manager of the company; he was impressed to see the work done by our students. The students who were involved in the project have received an internship letter from the company for doing the component drawings. This will be very useful for the students who take the engineering stream at university.
