SolidWorks is an ideal 3D design package for the teaching of design for mechanical engineering and product design. As well as unrivalled geometry creation it also includes a wide range (some 20+ applications) for simulation, surfacing, photorendering, animation, sheet-metal, data transfer, analysis, routing and full detailed drawing creation capabilities.

Design verification tools (fully embedded and integrated FEA) is included within the SolidWorks Education Edition:

COSMOSWorks™- FEA: finite element analysis
COSMOSMotion™- kinematics and motion analysis
COSMOSFloWorks™- CFD: computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis

The SolidWorks Education Edition 2006-2007 also includes:

SolidWorks® 3D CAD: the defacto standard in 3D engineering/product design 
PhotoWorks™ : easy to achieve and high quality photo-realistic image creation 
SolidWorks Toolbox: automate  assembly tasks with standard parts
SolidWorks® Animator : produce compelling AVI files from parts and assemblies
eDrawings Professional: Generate accurate 2D and 3D models and share them with anyone - can view, mark up, and measure without having to purchase any software
FeatureWorks: reuse 3D CAD data-created in file formats imported from other CAD systems
SolidWorks Utilities: analyse designs and compare versions of a design to see what's different
3D Instant Website: push-button simple, create a website featuring your design or drawing
DWGeditor™: Edit and create native DWG drawings with this free DWGeditor inside SolidWorks—users familiar with AutoCAD® find the interface very familiar.
MoldflowXpress™: Unique to SolidWorks, this provides a basic mold filling simulation tool to assist in plastic part design, very helpful when developing parts that need to be moulded cost effectively.
PDMWorks: Minimize errors and avoid duplicated effort by capturing file revision history automatically. Access and search for files, determine who has changed what and when, control production's acsess to view only current revisions.

SolidWorks Education Edition 2007-2008 is available as either stand-alone or network license versions, it comes  complete with course material and curriculum in both electronic and printed formats.

The SolidWorks Teacher Guide and Student Courseware provides over 500 pages of teaching resources, covering all major areas of interest including SolidWorks, PhotoWorks, SolidWorks Animator, Toolbox, and eDrawings Professional. Teacher Guide Companion files and Student Workbook Files are included, making it easy to print lessons or models, along with a syllabus, reproducible study sheets, hand-outs, quizzes, homework assignments, and individualized study projects and exercises.

SolidWorks is proud to be a sponsor of the Formula SAE, Formula Student, Mini Baja and Supermilage Challange competitions, giving students meaningful real world experience designing, building, testing, and competing with original designs in a team environment.

Formula SAE, Formula Student, Mini Baja and Supermilage Challange provide today's engineering students with the same kinds of challenges they will face in industry. Communication, collaboration, deadlines, budgets, and teamwork are necessary components of any successful design project. SolidWorks' powerful, intuitive, and best-in-class 3D CAD tools help make every aspect of the design challenge a valuable experience. This is why Formula SAE and Formula Student organizations attract the "best and brightest". Not surprisingly, Formula SAE and Formula Student activity is where future innovations in tomorrow's automotive industry take shape.
