The Advanced SolidWorks Skills one-semester certificate is for individuals who are working in the field or individuals in a related field wishing to obtain SolidWorks skills beyond the entry level and with prior knowledge of Mechanical Drafting. Drafting technicians whose skills are dated and wish to update, should select this certificate to gain those skills required in industry. Advanced applications of the 3D parametric software include management of design data, advanced assembly, analysis of model creations, documentation of bill of materials and parts lists, rendering, animation, and dynamic simulation and testing a model assembly.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Advanced SolidWorks Skills certificate program, students should be able to:

• Use the SolidWorks software package to create advanced models, parts, assemblies, and related documents (e.g., bill of materials, parts lists)
• Construct, modify, and manage complex parts in 3D space as well as to produce 2D drawings from the 3D models
