This Specialization provides a comprehensive, project-based pathway to mastering professional mechanical design using SolidWorks. Through four industry-style case studies—a multi-utility tool, an internal combustion engine, a kids bicycle, and an oil tank system—learners apply parametric modeling principles, assembly strategies, motion validation, and design intent planning in realistic engineering scenarios. Rather than focusing on isolated commands, the program emphasizes structured workflows, feature planning, manufacturability, and mechanical functionality. By completing these end-to-end projects, learners develop practical, job-ready CAD skills aligned with modern mechanical and product design practices.
Applied Learning Project
Learners complete four comprehensive mechanical design projects that simulate real engineering workflows, from concept modeling to final validated assemblies. Each project requires applying parametric modeling, advanced mating strategies, motion validation, and structured design planning to build fully functional mechanical systems that reflect professional CAD standards.
