My experience in CAD Programs comes from my experience in high school. Coming from the engineering program at Cape Cod Regional Techinical High School (CCT). While at CCT I was taught Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks. At 4C's I was introduced to Arduino.
I enjoyed Arduino and began designing various Arduino controlled devices. These were mostly for sim racing. Some of the devices I designed and built were a custom manual transmission, hydraulic pedals, wheel button box, and handbrake. As well as a 8 motor haptic feedback system that would emulate road vibrations.
Through these projects I learned skills in soldering and Electronics as well as furthering my skills in mechanical engineering.
During the summers while I was in high school and part of college I was working at Idle Times Bike shop in Wellfleet. My job was to operate all operations at this location. I ran the location by solely most of the time. I also trained multiple people there who took over after I had to leave for school.
After high school I enrolled at 4C's In the Engineering program studying robotic, CAD, and C++. I was in this program for a year and a half and decided that engineering wasn't hands on enough for me. I Switched to the Aviation Maintenance Program during the summer of 2023.
Currently I am studying Aviation Maintenance where Electronics have been a main part of the program. Some of the information we have been taught include reading wiring diagrams and doing electrical related math. Manufacturing of cables and cable ends such as cannon plugs. As well as diagnosing electrical issues.
