SolidWorks: Automotive & Industrial | Beginner to CSWA-CSWP

Learn SolidWorks the way it's actually used in industry, from a design engineer with more than 20 years of experience in automotive, racing, and industrial design.

This is a complete path from your very first sketch to CSWA and CSWP certification. You don't need any prior CAD experience. Everything is explained step by step, and every concept is reinforced with practical exercises taken from real engineering work.

What makes this course different

Most SolidWorks courses teach you where the buttons are. This course teaches you how to think like a design engineer. Alongside the software training, you get a full section on the knowledge every mechanical engineer should have: materials and material selection, tolerances and fits, GD&T, stress and failure analysis, fasteners and joining methods, and design for manufacturing (DFM and DFA). This is the context that turns a SolidWorks user into an engineer that companies want to hire.

What you will learn

• Sketching: profiles, dimensions, relations, patterns, and the workflow habits that keep your models stable

• Part modeling: from extrudes and revolves to lofts, sweeps, boundary features, advanced holes, threads, and complex patterns

• Assemblies: standard, mechanical, and advanced mates, component patterns, exploded views, section views, and large assembly management

• Drawings: professional 2D manufacturing drawings with views, sections, dimensions, notes, symbols, and annotations

• Certification: dedicated CSWA and CSWP sections, including a full walkthrough of a real CSWA exam, question by question, so you know exactly what to expect

Course structure

More than 200 lectures and over 21 hours of content, organized in 10 sections that build on each other. Exercises are placed between lessons so you practice immediately, and advanced exercises at the end push you further. The course works with any SolidWorks version from 2013 to 2025.

Who this course is for

• Complete beginners who want to learn CAD and mechanical design from zero

• Students and freshers preparing for a career in mechanical engineering

• Design engineers switching to SolidWorks from AutoCAD, CATIA, Fusion 360, or other CAD software

• Anyone preparing for the CSWA or CSWP certification exams

• Hobbyists and makers who want to design real, manufacturable parts

By the end of this course, you will be able to model parts, build assemblies, and produce manufacturing drawings with confidence, and you will be ready to take on the CSWA and CSWP exams.
