Our Value Added Reseller, GoEngineer is expanding their outreach to FIRST teams in a variety of ways. GoEngineer employees are judges, mentors and advisors to FIRST teams and STEM Education advocates. This year, GoEngineer is expanding their online education offering to FIRST students with their online SOLIDWORKS Fundamentals for FIRST Robotics Course. From understanding design intent up to manufacturing drawings and multi-part assemblies, students can learn how to create effective designs using
As an educator, creating exams take time – especially for multiple sections and courses. In today’s competitive job market, your students need every advantage they can get. The SOLIDWORKS Certification Program gives your students a proven edge for employment and gives you time to concentrate on student success – and not creating exams. What are SOLIDWORKS Certifications?
Rich Wells, Harding University, Searcy, Arkansas, USA is teaching design, engineering and analysis courses to his students. His students are using SOLIDWORKS. But early this summer, Rich and three of his colleagues put together the “Robots and Rockets” Summer Camp for kids in grades 4-8 to have fun learning about with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) projects. Campers got to work on: 1.
Educators and students have been teaching and learning SOLIDWORKS for over 25 years. The SOLIDWORKS Education Edition gives students the tools to engineer, simulate, document and visualize their designs. As SOLIDWORKS has changed, so too has education. There are more project-based learning classes, video instruction courses, and team-focused projects.
After teaching 1000’s of students and writing about SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Simulation for over 25 years, David Planchard, emeritus WPI, is exploring 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation and the Abaqus solver. Through the SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Lesson series, David helps educators understand 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation fundamentals through simple examples and industry practices. I ask my students, what is the objective of Structural Design? I tell them that Structural Design simply ensures that
My friend Scott is teaching a new SOLIDWORKS-based course at a local university. I wanted to share my answers to his questions with you and add some valuable resources for the new instructor or a seasoned educator. What is SOLIDWORKS? SOLIDWORKS is the leading 3D product design software used by companies throughout the world.

Dassault Systèmes owns SOLIDWORKS and a lot of various simulation software packages. Simulation packages range from
SOLIDWORKS desktop in education is now connected to advanced simulation with SIMULIA Technology through the 3DEXPERIENCE Engineer offer. Our new engineering simulation portfolio of products allows educators to cover structural mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, multibody dynamics and electromagnetic field simulation for a true Multiphysics approach. With the 3DEXPERIENCE Works eBike Modeling and Simulation (MOD-SIM) series, my colleagues, Greg and Ronit, present how to use this new
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). Most of my students have had a class in Windows-based CAD software.
Engineering and Science educators are always the first to embrace new technology while developing students’ understanding of foundational theory. Working for the largest engineering and software company in the world, provides me great insight into trends in industry that are making there way into teaching and learning. The industry trend is MODSIM – MODeling and SIMulation. MODSIM is far more than a CAD model or FEA simulation, it involves an iterative development process from concept through
For over 25 years, SOLIDWORKS has brought our software into the classroom through dedicated educators who teach our tools and inspire their students.
