   introduction_to_solidworks/index


The objective of this course is to develop basic and intermediate skills using the `SolidWorks <https://www.solidworks.com>`__ computer-aided design (CAD) and engineering program (CAE). It is split into several sections, each with a focus on a different aspect of SolidWorks. The sections are:
