The CSWA-Mechanical (Associate certification) exam preparation gave me a solid foundational understanding of the basic tools to create and edit parts and assemblies. I had gotten so “proficient” at my erroneous ways of working with SOLIDWORKS that I did not even stop to think that there might be better ways to get to the same end point.įast-forward to 2021, when I began to take certifications to assess my knowledge. This became painfully apparent at my first job at a manufacturing company, where I was (good-naturedly) teased for my cumbersome and resource intensive practices when it came to part and assembly modelling. Although I could work with the software and create basic designs, my workflow was slow and inefficient. This experience set a sub-optimal starting point from which I grew in proficiency with SOLIDWORKS. My Experience with SOLIDWORKS and Certifications I stumbled my way through the assignment and somehow got to the end destination, but it was not pretty. I distinctly remember my first time trying to create a 3D model for a class exercise. As one would expect, proficiency in CAD software is a vital tool for a mechanical engineering graduate to possess, and so I was introduced to SOLIDWORKS early on. My journey with SOLIDWORKS began soon into my first year of university.
