Summary

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest fields of engineering. It helps with the designing, creating and testing of everything we see around us. Everything from the toothbrush we use in the morning, to the bed we sleep at night has some components of mechanical engineering in it. Therefore, the field requires a lot of problem-solving skills, as with almost every area of engineering. One of the most critical skills a mechanical engineer can have is the ability to envision and visualize objects around them. This allows them to design and model components, which then go into creating the final product. So what helps a mechanical engineer visualize what he or she wants to create? Most engineers rely on software tools to help them model and visualize their ideas. There are a lot of software tools out there that engineers use while designing a component. One of the most popular tools used for 2D and 3D modelling in SolidWorks. Since designing and modelling are such essential functions that mechanical engineers need to do daily, knowing how to handle SolidWorks is a crucial skill that most engineers need to have. Here’s a look at some of the top online courses to learn SolidWorks and why you need to do it.
