A search didn't turn up any threads on this.

I'm going to be teaching design with SolidWorks in an engineering technology type program this winter.

I'm curious who else teaches it, and whether they have any comments.

I'm also curious if people who aren't necessarily instructors have any thoughts on things they wish they'd known at the beginning, things they wish others knew, things they think are important.

Finally, I'm interested in compiling a consensus on best practice, since it may do students a disservice to rely solely on my own opinions. But I think that's another thread.
