Re: Getting kid excited about CAD
Honestly, I don't think you will be sucessful trying to force or push someone to do CAD. It is a very hard task, and requires people that enjoy doing that sort of stuff. Spending long hours behind a screen, figuring out problems on design etc. Before a fellow junior, and I came along our freshman year, our team did not have a CAD team. The general vibe I got at that time, was that the head mentor tried to push a few students to do it and it ended badly.
My fellow junior was straight away interested in CAD and jumped right into it in freshman year. I took a little bit more convincing. However, I did realize how much better the team can be if I helped CAD so I picked up on it. And eventually actually started enjoying doing it.
I guess my only advice can be, show your students how much CAD can benefit a team. Then attempt to single out the students that might be interested in such a task, and try to tell them how much they would be helping if the CADed. Other than that, I dont really know.
