I’m constantly impressed with the consistent quality, yearly feature updates, technical contents and instructor support materials of this book – Engineering Design with SolidWorks.
I’ve used this book in my freshmen engineering class and evening adult education class for the past six years. By far, this is the finest Solidworks classroom book on the market today. The bonus multimedia CD is a real plus for any new user.
The authors do a brilliant task in covering the engineering design basics: Visualization, sketching, proper base plane selection, design intent, part modeling, drawings, assemblies and analysis. The new sections in Sustainability and DFM is great.
A lot of the homework problems in this book are directly aligned to the entry level SolidWorks certification exam (CSWA). For my advance Solidworks class, I use their CSWA Certification book. Classic modeling examples are provided and illustrated throughout for simple and complex parts and assemblies. I had the pleasure to meet Marie Planchard at Solidworks world this year. She has a passion for education and students.

I am going to college and taking this class. The book, of course, is required, but it is very user friendly. The book walks you through each step and gives you tips for the functions. Very satisfied.
