After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring SOLIDWORKS desktop and the integrated 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Through the 3DEXPERIENCE Works Lesson series, David helps educators understand the 3DEXPERIENCE Add-In with simple examples and industry practices. The Platform offers are available thru your Education Partner (VAR). In my experience, students in Junior and Senior Design classes have a very hard time using any
SOLIDWORKS continues to be a necessary job skill for design and engineering professionals and as a result is taught in schools from middle school and high schools, technical institution and college and universities. SOLIDWORKS desktop is connected to cloud services through the 3DEXPERIENCE Add In. 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer is a new education offer on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, that brings together science and engineering technologies in a single environment. Our new engineering simulation portfolio
Formula Hybrid + Electric is one of the most challenging competitions in the SAE collegiate circuit. Requiring multidisciplinary student teams in mechanical, electrical, systems, chemical, robotics engineering and computer science, the event tests the design, performance, and durability of a competition vehicle with strict rules. In addition, students must present to industry judges on their drivetrain innovation and vehicle efficiency. Founded and run by the Thayer School of Engineering at
University of California Berkeley The Spaceport America Cup is the world’s largest Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) for student rocketry teams.

Imagine if engineering students could share information about their projects and collaborate with their professors and each other. Imagine if student teams use project planning and product life cycle management tools to understand skills required by future employers. Imagine if faculty and students, with innovative ideas, can build prototypes in an incubator space and become a start-up. 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Changing How Educators Teach and Students Learn You do not have to imagine.
