When Ben Nuebel<\/strong>,\u00a0Pre-Engineering & Technology Education Teacher\u00a0Cherokee Trail High School\u00a0&\u00a0Technology Student Association (TSA) Advisor for Colorado contacted us with a request from a student we were surprised. \u00a0For this was no ordinary high school student. \u00a0Nick Johnson<\/strong> was determined\u00a0to become a Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE) before he graduated and before he turned 18 years of age.<\/p>\n

Ben has produced student champions for TSA and employable students with his pre-engineering program. \u00a0His students achieve Certified SolidWorks Associate and Certified SolidWorks Professional with 4 rigorous years of education and skilled based learning. \u00a0\u00a0But to achieve CSWE, Nick had to spend hours on his own preparing for all the SolidWorks Certification exams required to achieve CSWE.<\/p>\n

For final exams, hundreds of schools are now providing the CSWA exam to their students to prove engineering design competencies. \u00a0Schools on subscription that meet minimum requirements can offer CSWA exams to their students. \u00a0Exams are unique for each student and automatically graded. \u00a0The CSWA exam is given in 12 languages. \u00a0Educators can apply<\/a> at www.solidworks.com\/cswa-academic.<\/p>\n

When I was teaching at Mass Bay Community College, the CSWA exam gave my students another opportunity in a competitive job market. \u00a0It was an exam they have for life long learning and throughout their career.<\/p>\n

Mike Puckett<\/strong> announced last week that we have achieved over 80,000 CSWA’s!<\/p>\n

We congratulate Nick, Ben and the students of Cherokee Trail High School that have accomplished so much. \u00a0Marie<\/p>\n
