Mechanical Design is a discipline that involves the creation, analysis, and optimization of mechanical systems or components. Coursera's Mechanical Design catalogue teaches you the foundational principles of mechanical design including the design process, materials selection, mechanical stress analysis and more. You'll learn about various mechanical systems and their components, using CAD software for 3D modeling, finite element analysis, and design for manufacturing. Develop the ability to design innovative solutions to real-world problems as an engineer, product designer, or simply someone interested in the mechanics of the world around us.
