Learning CAD

As a student learning CAD in an independent course of study, I find it helps so much to actually do it yourself on the computer. I find that many students with interest in mechanical engineering are very hands-on, so learning by doing has greater impact. Maybe assign a simple project to work towards together. My first CAD project was to model a length of chain. It was a very trial-and-error process, but I learned so much more than I would have if I had watched my instructor model the chain.
