Q: Can I just watch videos to learn the course?

A: Negative. This course involves some basic theories, which are suitable for learning by watching videos, but also contains  calculations, which need to be consolidated after class. 

Q:Why does Chapter 8 include CAD design?

A: This course has a strong practical attribute. By introducing CAD software into the course, students can skillfully use industry tools to solve practical problems, which is not only one of the requirements of this course, but also a major feature of this course.
