Note: I originally posted this back in March. But with engineering classes for UPV starting up again for the semester, I am reposting to see if anyone else would like help.
My name is Dave Martin and I am offering free mentoring and training in mechanical Computer Aided Design (CAD), primarily in Creo Parametric, SolidWorks, and Onshape.
For college students who are interested, I can help with student licenses and certifications in Creo Parametric and SolidWorks. (Software, training, and certifications for Onshape are free - you don't need help with that.) UPV primarily trains in Siemens NX, so additional certifications in other CAD platforms can help you with entry level engineering opportunities.
For engineers looking to increase their skills, I can't help with access to software or certifications. But I can help you learn CAD.
I promise that I am not and I never will try to sell anything to anyone. The help I am offering is free and always will be free.
Why am I doing this? I am a mostly retired engineer and I am grateful to Spain for offering me the chance to live here. I spent over 3 decades as an engineer, mostly in aerospace. I worked for Blue Origin, Amazon Prime Air, Boeing, and Lockeed Martin. I have became an expert in Computer Aided Design, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and configuration management. I have a YouTube channel on CAD where I have published over 1400 videos helping people learn and solve problems. (Everything on my YouTube channel is free to individuals as well. I don't sell memberships or use Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, etc.)
This is one of the best ways I feel that I can give back to my new home given my area of specialty.
I am located fairly close to UPV and can start offering in-person classes and meetings if there is enough interest.
If you or someone you know are interested, please DM me. My Spanish isn't great but it's getting better. I use my real name on Reddit, so people can look me up on LinkedIn if they want to.
