SOLIDWORKS Education
Your Complete Teaching and Learning Platform
Give tomorrow’s engineers the very software trusted by millions of professionals. SOLIDWORKS Education bundles industry-standard CAD, simulation and data-management tools with cloud collaboration, curricula and certifications, so learning can happen anywhere—lab, lecture hall or home.
Why SOLIDWORKS Education?
From First
Idea to Final Prototype
SOLIDWORKS Education equips educators, students and researchers with a single, intuitive environment that spans 3D design, finite-element analysis, CFD, electrical schematics, CAM and PDM.
Over 80 % of the world’s top engineering schools already rely on it, because it lets classes focus on problem-solving— not wrestling with disparate tools.
With built-in lessons, hands-on projects and free student licences for off-campus work, the programme supports flipped and hybrid classrooms just as well as traditional labs.
Educators gain ready-made curricula; students build portfolios, sit industry-recognised CSWA/CSWP exams at no charge and join a global community of designers—all before graduation.
Benefits of SOLIDWORKS Education
Teaching Made Simpler,
Learning Made Stronger
One licence unlocks 12+ products - 3D CAD, Simulation, Flow, Plastics, Electrical, MBD, Composer, CAM, PDM Standard, Visualize and eDrawings - so every design challenge is solved inside a single interface.
Qualifying institutions can deliver CSWA and CSWP exams at no cost, giving graduates verifiable skills that stand out in hiring pipelines.
“Any-device” home licenses mean learners keep progressing after lab hours - ideal for distance learning and independent study programs.
More than 600 on-demand tutorials, e-books and teacher guides help reinforce class topics or let keen students accelerate on their own.
Subscription customers receive live assistance from MECAD’s certified experts for installation, curriculum mapping and troubleshooting - minimising downtime.
