Excellent professor, clear explanations & lecture planning, willing to help you anytime he can. Big into design. Take him over the other professors.

So caring and helpful, will really go out of his way to help students! If you need extra time he will give it to you and is just overall a great person. Very smart and one of the best teachers I've ever had!

Terrible lecturer. Not hard to get an A, but you're not going to learn anything worthwhile from showing up. There's 3-6 hours of CAD work per week, and most of the semester is in CREO. No wonder mech E upperclassmen don't actually know CAD. If you take his class, know that the old professor has walkthroughs for every homework on youtube.

I took this course during the winter 2021 semester, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dr. Fazelpour was respectful, caring, and understanding of students needs. I would take this course again if I could.

Tough to measure the difficulty of the class I took because some people come into this class with excessive experience with 3D modeling. I, on the other hand, had little to no 3D modeling experience and did quite well. The homework took me about 4 to 8 hours a week. I feel comfortable using CAD in the workplace.

Lecture worthless, but he makes assignments due during 8am lecture so attendance is mandatory. Doesnt teach himself, just puts things on board. Made tests harder than they needed to be.

Dr. Mohamad is very caring and really wants students to learn the course and the software. Great at making sure you understand. Is willing to give extra help if needed. He is a serious professor though. The exams are not easy.

Good professor. He is very accessible outside of class. I emailed him numerous times out of class, and he took great care in making sure that my problem was fixed. He is a bit nitpicky on homework, so take time to do everything perfectly. Lectures are informative and engaging.

Lectured straight from the slides, and not in a good way. Didn't provide help for the massive independent project. On the bright side, didn't grade harshly. If you follow the instructions you'll get an A, but don't expect to learn how to do research. I stuck it out because I wanted to join the researcher led FIRE teams.

Very good professor and even better person. He would always help everyone. Also, your path to passing is very clear. Take this course.
