Design & Assemble Mechanical Systems in SolidWorks

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

• Apply parametric modeling principles to design complex mechanical components
• Construct and validate multi-part assemblies using advanced mating techniques
• Develop industry-style CAD workflows emphasizing design intent and manufacturability

• Basic computer and internet skills
• Ability to read course instructions in English and complete short practice activities
