Learning Targets for SolidWorks
Students will become familiar with User Interface.
Students will develop an understanding Basic Functionality.
Students will develop abilities to Create and Modify Parts.
Students will develop abilities to use Assembly Basics.
Students will use SolidWorks Toolbox Basics.
Students will develop 2D Drawing Basics.
Students will develop SolidWorks eDrawings Basics.
Students will develop Design Tables.
Students will develop Revolve and Sweep Features.
Students will develop Loft Features.

This course is designed to give students hands-on experience using SolidWorks three-dimensional Parametric CAD software. SolidWorks is a mechanical design software that takes advantage of the familiar Microsoft Windows graphical user interface. The students will use the software to create three-dimensional solid parts and assemblies. The students will also create orthographic projections from the solid geometry. Rapid prototyping may be presented in this course.
