SolidWorks is one of the largest computer-aided design (CAD) software programs used globally across numerous industries including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, defense, medical devices, robotics and automation, consumer products, construction and more.
CT State offers SolidWorks Level I and Level II training, providing you with experience working individually and as part of a team utilizing practical scenarios introducing you to the paperless computer-based design process using SolidWorks, a parametric 3-D design software. This course covers topics including design process, design engineering, assembly modeling, mechanism analysis, rapid prototyping, team design, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and analysis of tolerance stackups. The course combines on-ground and online teaching methods and using guided tutorials, you’ll learn how to make simple parts and assemblies with corresponding drawings to draft standards as well as more complex parts, assemblies and drawings. You will also have the opportunity to work closely with the CNC Machining course to simulate a real-world manufacturing shop environment. Textbooks and exams are included in the price.
