There are 3 modules in this course

Learners will apply parametric modeling techniques, construct multi-part mechanical components, and assemble a complete oil tank system using industry-standard SolidWorks workflows. By the end of this course, learners will be able to model structural stands, design supporting platforms, create functional tank components, and integrate all parts into a validated assembly aligned with real-world design intent.

This hands-on case study guides learners step by step through a practical engineering project, moving beyond isolated commands to demonstrate how individual features contribute to a complete mechanical design. Learners benefit from working on a realistic oil tank with stand layout, gaining experience in part modeling, dimensional control, sketch reuse, 3D sketching, and assembly positioning. Each stage emphasizes design accuracy, alignment, and functional reasoning rather than trial-and-error modeling. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, project-driven approach that mirrors professional CAD workflows. Instead of focusing on theory alone, learners build a full system from scratch, reinforcing best practices used in mechanical and industrial design. This course is ideal for learners seeking to strengthen applied SolidWorks skills through a comprehensive, real-world case study.

This module introduces the SolidWorks oil tank case study and guides learners through foundational and advanced techniques for modeling a structurally sound stand using parametric solid modeling principles.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
