<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With school closed due to COVID-19, my husband, David, is transforming his SOLIDWORKS-based courses, labs, and senior design projects to be delivered online to his engineering students at WPI.<\/p>\n
Our kitchen has become “command central”\u00a0 to new instruction delivery methods and answering questions. How do I get my students SOLIDWORKS licenses?\u00a0 How do students document their work without drawings, a machine shop, or 3DPrinter?\u00a0 How do I evaluate and prove their work to submit a grade required for graduation?<\/p>\n
Many educators and students face similar challenges.\u00a0 So I wanted to share with you some helpful information about SOLIDWORKS and getting your students through their classes – even when they are home.<\/p>\n
I wanted to share answers to questions that many educators might be facing tonight.<\/p>\n
How do I get SOLIDWORKS Student Access?<\/strong><\/p>\n David emailed every student to make certain they had a computer at home.\u00a0 Next he provided instructions to download the SOLIDWORKS Student Access<\/a> license for WPI.\u00a0 For schools on subscription, SOLIDWORKS provides students with their own license for their own computer.<\/p>\n The SOLIDWORKS Student Access<\/a> serial number differs from your SOLIDWORKS Education Edition serial number.\u00a0 If you do not know the SOLIDWORKS Student Access serial number, please have your school’s IT manager contact your SOLIDWORKS Education reseller<\/a>.<\/p>\n How do students’ document their work?<\/strong><\/p>\n In SOLIDWORKS, there are features that are helpful in an online teaching and learning environment.\u00a0 The Roll Back bar shows design intent and features\/sketches for a part. An animated exploded view shows how an assembly is put together.<\/p>\n File>Pack&Go allows students to combine all parts, assemblies, drawings and Toolbox parts into one zip file.<\/p>\n How do I evaluate and document students’ work?<\/strong><\/p>\n For ABET, records of students’ work document their understanding of subject matter outcomes. Using SOLIDWORKS drawings.\u00a0 Feature Properties allows the instructor to understand when, date and time,\u00a0 the student created the features in the model file.<\/p>\n Over the next few weeks, I will document and share what I learn about teaching and learning from home.<\/p>\n My friend, SOLIDWORKS User Group leader, and FIRST Robotics mentor, Betty Baker shared this tweet<\/a> with me tonight about Christian Fracassi, Founder CEO of Isinnova, 3DPrinting valves at a Brescia, Italy hospital.<\/p>\n David will be using the Isinnova example in his engineering design class.\u00a0 Students will conduct research about the challenges in creating medical device equipment such as FDA regulations, material approval, and patent searches.<\/p>\n Thank you to all the educators that continue to teach under difficult circumstances.\u00a0 We need educators to keep teaching and inspiring our students to solve the problems that the COVID-19 crisis brings.<\/p>\n Be well.\u00a0 Marie<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With school closed due to COVID-19, my husband, David, is transforming his SOLIDWORKS-based courses, labs, and senior design projects to be delivered online to his engineering students at WPI.
