    Hmm. What about CAD? The professor going to teach FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, F360, OnShape, etc?

    I think requiring one tool is OK. You’re there to learn the process in a way that you can migrate to what you want later. Teachers aren’t paid enough as it is, so it should be made as easy as possible for them to manage the flow of work.

      Yeah, FreeCAD is open source and great (I use it at home)

      But you’re not landing a job requiring it, you’ll use SolidWorks like everybody else

      And if you find yourself in the 10% of companies which use some other CAD program, you will have to learn on the job
