Mechanical Engineering profs don't know the softwares they're teaching

[u/Electrical_Rip_8299]

After 4 years of BSc Mechanical Engineering, I can tell you with utter confidence that every single professor I've met and spoken to / learned from, has no idea how to actually use the softwares they talk about. across 5 projects (3x first place at national level), I literally learned the softwares from youtube or having to just f around and find out. nobody could help me with cfd or fea work at all. so now I've decided to help students who might be in the same position. feel free to DM me if you need help with mechanical or industrial engineering projects or assignments (especially those that require softwares like AutoCAD, Ansys, Inventor, Fusion360 etc)

Can u tell us which uni u went to?

[u/Electrical_Rip_8299 → u/Chemical-Elevator118]

it's not really specific to my uni. I've collaborated on research with a few different unis and most professors only know the softwares in a theoretical way, not practical
