Tuesday, February 12, promises to be an exciting day at SOLIDWORKS World 2019! Marie Planchard, SOLDIWORKS Director of Education and Early Development, will be speaking at the General Session. If you can’t make it to Dallas, you can watch Marie (and all the other speakers) during the General Sessions Live Streams<\/a>.<\/p>\n Students and educators can check out the Education & Research<\/a> sessions below and sign up!\u00a0Did you see the sessions for Monday<\/a> and Wednesday, aka Student Day<\/a>? What about the Education Zone Product Showcase<\/a>? There’s something for everyone!<\/p>\n Engineers Are Problem Solvers: A Critical Look at the Engineering Design Process<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Are you looking for a systematic approach to K-12 engineering? Then, join the dialog with the Engineering Pipeline. This award-winning, innovative program involves over 1,000 K-12 students in real-world, international engineering projects with the aid of post-secondary and industry mentors.\u00a0Attendees will learn about real-world P-12 engineering design projects, P-12 collaboration with industry and post-secondary institutions, and developing strong partnerships.<\/p>\n Automating the Assessments of Drawings: An Approach Using the SOLIDWORKS API<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This session presents a philosophy for assessing engineering drawings. Based on this, it outlines an automated approach using the SOLIDWORKS API to extract information from the drawing and solid model. This is developed into a procedure to assess and mark a large number of student drawings.\u00a0Attendees will engage in a discussion of how engineering drawings can be assessed in an automated way. They will see how the SOLIDWORKS API can be a useful tool without too much knowledge of Visual Basic. They will be able to discuss how these ideas can be beneficial without impacting their learning objectives.<\/p>\n
