  • At ProDex, each and every member gets an opportunity to gain practical exposure and hands-on experience of various fields in products designing, ranging from developing the idea to shaping it into a full-fledged product. He/She is introduced to a variety of technical softwares such as Solidworks, Fusion-360, Ansys etc. One will end up having a plethora of skills under his/her belt after spending a good amount of time in ProDex. Apart from the technical skills, the brainstorming sessions organised here help the members improve their communication skills and critical thinking abilities as well, which plays a vital role in one's overall personality development.
