Session Abstract

Discover how to maximize the value of SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE in the classroom by combining Dassault Systèmes’ education tools with complementary resources that enhance teaching and learning. This session will explore the built-in features of the SOLIDWORKS Education Edition—CAD, simulation, certification, and collaboration—and show practical ways to integrate them into student projects. Attendees will also learn about additional tools and workflows that extend the learning experience, from cloud-based collaboration and project dashboards to external apps that support visualization, communication, and rapid prototyping. Real classroom examples will highlight strategies for engaging students, managing group work, and building skills that prepare them for industry. Whether you are looking to enrich existing courses, support hybrid learning, or introduce students to professional workflows, this session provides actionable ideas and resources you can implement right away.
