Introduction to Reverse Engineering

Micro-credential

Reverse engineering is the process of analysing an existing product or system’s design and functionality and recreating it in a digital space to create a similar or improved version of that product or system. These skills will be valuable for individuals engaged in professions such as mechanical design, manufacturing, and quality assurance. This micro-credential will introduce learners to the principles and techniques of reverse engineering, 3D scanning equipment and software tools.

What you will learn

Upon completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

  • demonstrate and apply the principles and techniques of reverse engineering
  • identify and apply different equipment and techniques to create digital models
  • develop introductory competence in the analysis and interpretation of data from scans
  • identify a variety of software tools and how they can be used to manipulate and modify digital models
  • apply reverse engineering techniques in fields such as mechanical design, manufacturing, and quality assurance to increase efficiency and decrease costs.
