SpatialNews Press Releases Wireless News Business News Feature Columns MIT CHOOSES SOLIDWORKS® SOFTWARE FOR ITS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS COURSEThe Mechanical Engineering Tools course is required for all students in the Mechanical Engineering program and provides a comprehensive, inter-disciplinary approach to various methods of working with parts, shapes, and geometry. course entitled, Mechanical Engineering Tools, is required for students in the Mechanical Engineering degree programStudents learn 3D 3D solid modeling, hands-on manufacturing processes, . The course is an intensive, hands-on introduction to various methods for representing parts, shapes, geometry and machines. The methods that will be introduced are, sketch modeling, iIsometric sketching, 2D orthographic projection, dimensioning and tolerancing techniques of 2D drawings and solid modeling using SolidWorks software. Professor of Engineering, Emanuel Sachs will have the help of Sal Lama, along with Diane Brancazio, who developed the teaching material, and Adam Lorenz a teaching assistant. They will show the students how 3D modeling is changing the engineering and design world. "Thise class is very intensive and , there’s not a lot of time to spend teaching the students how to use CAD software,". said Emanuel Sachs, Professor of Engineering at MIT. " We chose SolidWorks because it’s intuitive and the learning curve is very short. ," said Emanuel Sachs Professor of Engineering at MIT. "SolidWorks is a great match for the classour students because , it demonstrateshows the students the benefits of 3D solid modeling and gives them exposure to an engineering tool that is being used by industry professionals around the worldtoday." "We are continually gratified by the level of enthusiasm and creativity the students and faculty at MIT bring to their use of SolidWorkFrom the beginning of the SolidWorks Education Program, we have had an inspiring and dynamic relationship with the Mechanical Engineering Department at MITs," said Rosanne Kramer, manager of SolidWorks Worldwide Education Markets. "This new e Winter Term course is yet another example of how SolidWorks is reinventingmodernizing the design process for tomorrow’`s industry innovators." MIT has been using SolidWorks since 1996 in multiple departments throughout the university, discipline areas including robotics, artificial intelligence, the Sea Grant Lab, industrial design, mechanical engineeringmanufacturing and productivity, industrial design, the Sea Grant Laboratory, and in the renowned Media Lab. SolidWorks has made additional donations to other instructional facilities at the institute. About SolidWorks Corporation SolidWorks Corporation, a Dassault Systemes S.A.
