SOLIDWORKS World 2018 – Student Success In and Out of the Classroom

By

SOLIDWORKS World celebrates our community of Educators, Students, Makers, and Researchers.  In and out of the classroom, SOLIDWORKS is preparing skilled students to get the best jobs.

We couldn’t achieve this success without the help of educators from university, college, community college, and high school present at key break out sessions.  Every presenter on the SOLIDWORKS Education Track is focused on student success.  They are all SOLIDWORKS Academic Certification Providers.

Students from UCLA Bruins Racing showcase their vehicle in the Partner Pavilion.  They join students from the LA area on Wednesday for “Student Day”  featuring a career skills and learning session from professional engineers that use SOLIDWORKS everyday.

We start even younger, SOLIDWORKS is the Modeling Solutions Partner and Crown Supplier to FIRST Robotics,  providing the software tools to FIRST R&D engineers and 1000’s of young students to celebrate and to support Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) learning.

Researchers from Sogang University, Korea are center stage at SOLIDWORKS World, featuring Professor  Kyoungchul “KC” Kong, founder of SG Robotics and SOLIDWORKS Entrepreneur.  With the help of his team, KC develops various wearable robots to help those in need.

On behalf of the SOLIDWORKS Education & Research team we celebrate with our community at SOLIDWORKS World.  We thank the SOLIDWORKS students, educators, makers and researchers that use our software to design and make great products everyday.  We also thank our commercial customers, VARs, and partners that hire students with SOLIDWORKS skills – strengthening our community.
