Course author Dean Kerste is a college professor with more than a decade of experience in industrial design and more twenty years experience as a professor in a mechanical design technology program. Kerste began his career as a draftsman detailing large industrial combustion systems for power generation and transitioning them into natural gas distribution systems. After working as a CAD operator and systems administrator, Kerste began a career in academics. He holds multiple degrees, including a bachelor's in industrial design and a doctorate in higher education.
The course begins with learning the basics of sketching such as lines and rectangles, advancing quickly to intermediate sketching with lessons on creating shapes, including polygons and slots.
From there, Dean explores the basics of designing in SolidWorks, explaining how to work in the features environment, use design elements such as fillets and chamfers, and create various patterns.
The course then advances into creating models by assembling parts using tools such as mating, positioning, and feature management. Finally, Kerste shows how to navigate the drawing environment, teaching the essential drawing tool palette and annotation features.
"After completing the lessons in this course, students will be well versed in SolidWorks 2014 fundamenals from parts to assemblies to drawings," Kerste says. "This foundation will not only set you on an exciting path of creating SolidWorks parts assemblies and drawings, it will spark your interest in more advanced SolidWorks functionality."
