CSWA Mastery Path: From Novice to Certified Solidworks Associate

Course Description

The CSWA Mastery Path: From Novice to Certified Solidworks Associate course provides a comprehensive study on the skills required to ace the Solidworks Certified Associate (CSWA) exam. You will learn engineering drafting fundamentals including drawing standards, axonometric and orthographic projections, drawing views, and basic 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) techniques; basic, intermediate, and advanced feature generation and modification; dimensioning standards; equations, display states, configurations, and configuration tables; basic to intermediate assembly generation and modification; and focused CSWA test prep, including test structure, practice questions, and workflow optimization. The CSWA is offered as the final exam for the course (need to determine feasibility of offering the CSWA as part of the course).
