Training materials along with SolidWorks Education Edition
Curriculum & Courseware DVD
Developed by educators for educators, the SolidWorks Teacher Guide and Student Courseware DVD as part of the SolidWorks Education Edition product comprise a complete set of instructional resources for teaching and learning 3D design concepts. This broad range of instructional materials is delivered on a fully reproducible CD that includes suggested lesson plans, exercises, design problems, quizzes, homework assignments, and learning objectives that are applicable for both introductory and advanced design courses.
Curriculum and courseware DVD includes instructional resources for teaching and learning 3D design with a focus on engineering and analysis principles. Whether for a 40-minute lecture, two-week project, semester-long course, or full-year program, the SolidWorks Tutorials, SolidWorks Simulation Tutorials, and the SolidWorks Curriculum and Courseware DVD give you flexible teaching tools. Suggested lesson plans, exercises, math and science correlations, quizzes, homework assignments, and learning objectives are applicable for programs from introductory engineering to advanced design. Students step through examples that reinforce the design and hands-on building process with physical assemblies. Activities implement science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) principles to aid you in integrating the curriculum into a creative and flexible classroom. No matter what your grade level or subject, SolidWorks software helps your students learn and understand the fundamentals of design, engineering, and analysis.
The following curriculum and courseware materials are provided:
SolidWorks Tutorials
SolidWorks software provides 37 step-by-step tutorials that guide students through the fundamental concepts of modeling. Located in the Help menu, these electronic tutorials require no printing. Students can be assigned 30- to 60-minute lessons in a classroom setting or independently. Eleven lessons are explored in greater depth in the SolidWorks Teacher Guide, providing goals, assessments, and related exercises
SolidWorks Simulation Tutorials
SolidWorks Simulation software provides 40 step-by-step tutorials that guide your students through the fundamental concepts of analysis. These 30- to 90-minute lessons cover analyses, such as linear stress, parameters and design scenarios, shape optimization, temperature distribution, frequency and fatigue.
SolidWorks Teacher and Student Guides
The SolidWorks Teacher Guide features 11 lessons that correspond to the SolidWorks Online Tutorials. This fully reproducible, 500-page document incorporates lesson plans, PowerPoint® presentations, student goals, vocabulary, and answers to student assessments. Other exercises stimulate students’ imaginations with real-world applications. A corresponding SolidWorks Student Guide provides exercises and assessments for your students. The lessons correlate to nine tutorials. Topics include:
Lesson 1: Using the Interface
Lesson 2: Basic Functionality
Lesson 3: The 40-Minute Running Start
Lesson 4: Assembly Basics
Lesson 5: Toolbox Basics
Lesson 6: Drawing Basics
Lesson 7: eDrawings Basics

SolidWorks Simulation Teacher and Student Guides
The SolidWorks Simulation Teacher Guide features an introduction to the principles of analysis utilized in SolidWorks Simulation and SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Design analysis is an essential part of completing a product, and is fully integrated with SolidWorks software.
SolidWorks Simulation simulates the testing of your model’s prototype working environment. It can help answer questions such as, how safe, efficient, and economical is your design?
SolidWorks Flow Simulation is an analysis tool for predicting the characteristics of various flows over and inside 3D objects modeled by SolidWorks, thereby solving various hydraulic and gas dynamic engineering problems.
This fully reproducible document incorporates lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, student goals, vocabulary, and answers to student assignments. A corresponding SolidWorks Simulation Student Guide provides exercises and assessments for your students.
Trebuchet Design Project
The Trebuchet Design Project is a 200-page document that steps a student through the parts, assemblies, and drawings used to construct a trebuchet. Utilizing COSMOSXpress™, students analyze structural members to determine material and thickness. Mathematics and physics competency-based exercises explore algebra, geometry, weight, and gravity.
Bridge Design Project
The Bridge Design Project is a series of movies and models for constructing a trussed wooden bridge. Students utilize SolidWorks Simulation to analyze different loading conditions of the bridge.
SolidWorks Motion Simulation Teacher and Student Guides
From dynamics to kinematics, both SolidWorks Motion Simulation guides provide step-by step examples to incorporate theory through virtual simulation.
SolidWorks Motion Simulation Virtual Tutor
Explore the concepts of forces, acceleration, dynamics, and kinematics. Your students can better understand theory and basic engineering principles in an interactive environment.
Building a CO2-Powered Car
This project leads students through the steps of designing and analyzing a CO2-powered car, from the car body design in SolidWorks to the analysis of air flow in SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Students must make design changes in the car body to reduce drag. They also explore the design process through production drawings in this document.
Mountain Board Design Project
The Mountain Board Design Project is a competency-based learning activity that takes your students through an interactive design project. Complete with goals and assessment, this 500-page document leads students through varied experiences with practical applications, including the iterative process, implementing design ideas, engineering a product, analysis for improving performance, and visualization for marketing a product.
