Corporate Training
Our model is simple yet powerful: we collaborate to help your team develop a new product then we teach a week-long class around that product’s development.
We are product designers, strategic problem solvers, and engineering experts armed with a process aimed at helping you work smarter, not harder. Design Engine does not simply teach software packages with menu clicks or reading from a book.
At Design Engine, training is more than just skill-building, it’s a gateway to lasting partnerships. Many of our product design and development projects begin through our years of training classes at your company. Learn to design courses lead to plastics or other manufacturing courses. Those courses lead to surfacing or advanced assembly courses. These 40-hour Creo or SOLIDWORKS classes or sessions not only teach best-in-class CAD skills but also create strong working relationships that set us apart from typical design or engineering firms.
We specialize in bridging the gap between industrial designers and mechanical engineers, helping teams speak a common 3D design language to using the tools smarter. Whether through training or consulting, we help organizations like Ingersoll Rand streamline their design-for-manufacturing process by blending project-based learning with real-time development.
Our model is simple yet powerful: we collaborate on a real product, and we teach a week-long class around that product’s development. Maybe it’s the other way around, where we teach classes and later puzzle into helping on projects? This process ensures that internal teams are equipped to iterate, modify, and own the design moving forward. We’re here to help your team grow, not just in using tools like Creo or SOLIDWORKS. Let us puzzle into your process.
Managers
Customized Courses
Leverage Team Strengths
Upskill and Reskill Employees
Enhance Productivity
Design Engine is able to customize our corporate training courses (especially after a completed project) to meet your team’s immediate design needs. We teach your designers and engineers how to overcome problems within the software, conquer current obstacles and solve relevant problems. Your project is near completion by the last day of the course.
Our ability to help increase efficiencies within the CAD modeling processes leads to reduction in costs and higher profits for the companies we assist. If you are adopting new technologies or methods, such as switching design engineering packages, that is another facet of our expertise. Accomplishing your company’s mission and improving company culture, while also fostering a transfer of knowledge among team members, is key for managers. Remaining future-focused and goal-oriented will fuel performance.
Upskilling refers to teaching employees new skills so they can thrive in their current position; reskilling means teaching them new skills to do a different job. Prioritizing professional development and continuing education opportunities for employees can reduce turnover, increase motivation, and improve performance. It costs less to reskill employees than to hire new ones.
Design Engine has been a world leader in delivering high-impact training courses for 3D CAD professionals, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, drafters, mechanics, and game designers. As pioneers of robust modeling, top-down design, and other exciting training techniques, our team has successfully trained thousands of engineers and designers from companies including Bissell, Caterpillar, Ingersoll Rand, GE Medical, US Army, US Air Force, Newell Brands, Stanley Black & Decker, Harley-Davidson.
At Design Engine, we are incredibly passionate about learning. We believe that good design should transcend the software, so we focus on fundamental design & 3D modeling skills. We help designers and engineers adopt a robust, resilient modeling workflow and challenge teams to approach problems with new perspectives that facilitate learning. Read testimonials from those who have trained in the past. We have many themes that change from year to year. This year we are asking what does it really mean to be an expert? And more importantly, how do we develop expert for your team?
It’s easy to say we want experts on our teams, but expertise doesn’t just happen. It’s grown, nurtured, and earned through focused learning, relentless curiosity, and meaningful practice. Think of Benjamin Franklin: driven by a love of learning, a strong work ethic, and a lifelong commitment to self-improvement.
We’re here to help you and your team follow that path to become not just proficient, but truly exceptional. Maybe it’s time we heard more from design and engineering managers on how they build expertise within their teams.

Getting younger Engineers & Designers up to Speed
It is important to learn new skills in an ever-changing environment. Don’t stay complacent and set in your ways by thinking you have learned all you need to learn. You are more likely to stay engaged and come up with fresh ideas if you seek out training.
If you are looking for opportunities to change positions or job roles, your advanced skills will be a benefit when seeking a promotion. Or perhaps you are seeking out a new career path and need to hone your CAD skills in order to find placement within the industry.
