Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/20/2024	I recommend Professor Fazelpour for this class. Overall I found the parts we had to build for homework fun, even if they could sometimes get frustrating. Highly suggest going to his virtual office hours as that really helps as the homework gets tougher (he does tend to grade homework a bit harshly, so getting his help can be beneficial). Also - go to class! There are graded in-class assignments occasionally, and he also will go over how to do that week's homework. Final project (CAD model a system of your choice) is a lot of fun and he grades the final very generously.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/26/2023	Great professor and really cares about teaching well and prioritizing how well students learn above prioritizing some bad grades they had in the past when it comes to final scores. Cares about people doing their part in group projects.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/21/2023	His class is pretty standard, go to class when there's in-class assignments. The homeworks take a decent amount of time each week but they're due before class not the night before. We had a helpful ta, and the professor both were responsive over email. His exams weren't too bad but some people did find them difficult. There's a group project at the end of the semester, seriously try to meet up not the night right before, it's gonna take longer than you think.
David Kriesberg ENME272 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/20/2023	If he senses something wrong he'll take off points, and grading is a bit of a mess in this class. Other than that, he's a super chill and understanding guy and would definitely recommend.

Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Anonymous 09/13/2023	Goes too fast in lecture, HW and activities are rediculous.
Ryan Smith ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/08/2023	I had no prior CAD experience which made it tough for me to complete the first homeworks and in class assignment. But after going to his office hours he was extremely helpful and takes time during lectures to make sure everyone is caught up and understands everything. The homeworks were easy but time consuming so just start them early. Overall this class gave me a new love of CAD definitely take this professor.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/12/2023	I took this course last semester. Honestly as long as you have a little prior experience in CAD, you don't even need to attend the painfully early 8 am lectures. I went to maybe 4 lectures at most and ended up with an A in the class
Ryan Smith ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/20/2022	Smith is kind of annoying about the group project, and will not help at all if your teammates slack. Otherwise he knows his stuff and is all too happy to answer any questions. He moves a reasonable pace, and I didn't pay attention for a lot of it because I've had prior CAD experience. From what I've heard, much better than Fazelpour. Solidworks can be frustrating at times, but the assignments are so easy, it should not be problematic. However, be sure to check that all of your submittables are complying with his rubric of demands. Personally, I suggest you use your own laptop rather than the ones in the classroom, to easier work at home. (not applicable if you have a mac or a brick of a computer.)
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/22/2022	Great professor. Dr. Fazelpour was respectful, caring, and understanding of students. He also a very helpful professor. Highly recommended.
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/27/2021	For 272, Fazelpour is a really good teacher. He goes a little fast in class when reviewing the material, but if you ask him to repeat a step/part, he will go over it again. The TAs can be helpful but really depends on the TA during the semester. Homeworks can take a while, so do not wait until the last minute to start them, especially if you have an issue with a part. The midterms tend to be more complicated than the homework assignments, so be sure to get help if you do not understand aspects of the homework. There is a group project at the end of the semester that should be fun and easy, but if you are in a bad group then it will be a struggle. Fazelpour is understanding and will try to accommodate as much as he can, but waiting until the last minute will not help.
Ryan Smith ENME272 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/27/2021	Fantastic professor and lecturer. I've found him incredibly accomodating, and he takes the time to explain the material, making it comfortable to ask questions. His office hours are also very accomodating. The exams are fair and representative of the homeworks, so if you put time into the homeworks (which admittedly do take a while) you'll do great on the exams. The final project is difficult but graded easy, just make sure to not leave everything last minute. The course is also more work than 2 credits, but it's a rewarding and valuable course, and you'll come out of it feeling very comfortable with Solidworks.
Ryan Smith ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/24/2021	Ryan is an excellent lecturer who is also very caring and always helpful about accommodating special circumstances if you speak with him. If you ask any questions, he makes sure to explain the material until you truly understand it. Exams are fair, and the project was difficult but graded generously.

Ryan Smith ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/14/2020	Mr. Smith is an incredible professor. He is passionate about the subject matter and teaching. He is happy to answer any questions and explain concepts to students. He does a wonderful job teaching CAD to his students and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone taking this course.
Ryan Smith ENME272 Anonymous 05/28/2020	Really great professor. Incredibly accommodating and understanding. Plus he does a great job teaching Solidworks and CAD. Don't hesitate to take him
Mohammad Fazelpour ENME272 Anonymous 12/14/2019	This class is fine. The TAs aren’t super helpful but Fazelpour is helpful and understanding. Not a hard grader. The homework and exams are reasonable.
Babak Eslami ENME272 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/18/2018	I really like Dr. Eslami. The class is painless and he is very understanding of any situation you may have. He's always willing to help.
