Re: SolidWorks Jobs?

You cant major in "SolidWorks" remember SolidWorks is a design tool.

SolidWorks is used across college curriculum in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, industrial design, robotics engineering, aerospace, marine, automotive engineering, physics, medical and vetenary schools, art, argiculture and more. At a college level, you will see SolidWorks as a requirement for a course. Sometimes at the community college you will see a "SolidWorks" course - but most of the time the course would be entitled, Engineering Design, Machine Design, Finite Element Analysis.

That fact that you know about machining is a real plus. Learn as much as you can about machining - you can design anything virtually - but it takes real talent to know if a model can be manufacuted.

Investigate areas in SolidWorks such as weldments, sheet metal, molding - these are all tied to manufacturing and are important tools. Also in the aerospace and automotive industry the tools like TolAnalyst are also important.

Everytime you make a model - you learn. Just keep learning.
