You’ll work through the core tools and workflows of SOLIDWORKS, including part modeling, assemblies, and technical drawings, building a strong foundation for more advanced design projects. The self-paced format lets you develop skills gradually while gaining confidence in creating and communicating your designs. By the end of the course, you’ll understand SOLIDWORKS fundamentals such as sketches, part modeling, and design intent, and you’ll be able to create and manage precise multi-part assemblies. You’ll also develop technical drawings and blueprints that support manufacturing and clear design communication. ## What you'll learn - Navigate the SOLIDWORKS interface and core toolkits with confidence - Apply sketching tools, constraints, and dimensions to drive parametric models - Build 3D parts using essential features (extrude, revolve, cut, fillet, shell, pattern) - Design with intent so models remain clean, organized, and easy to edit - Create assemblies, add mates, and manage part relationships - Produce professional 2D drawings with views, dimensions, and annotations - Complete a cohesive project: a playground modeled as parts and sub-assemblies, finished with a blueprint set ## Instructors ### William Tenney — Instructor William Tenney is a career Solidworks designer.
