Educators Corner “SolidWorks Supports Education”

sw-educators-corner-2As I try to cover SolidWorks education from different perspectives, I sometimes wonder just how committed the folks at SolidWorks Corporate are.  Well let me tell you about two of the guys.  Jeremy Luchini and Mike Puckett are the guys behind the SolidWorks Certification program.  Recently Jeremy and Mike made visits to some young and impressionable SolidWorks users and made a difference.  Check out Mike Puckett’s Blog and read his account of these visits.  I love these quote from Mike’s story: “Its great to see these kids so excited about engineering at such a young age.” Mike said, speaking about some students involved in the  UsFirst Robotics Competition.  A later visit to still more students at Greenville High School in Marc Nelson’s class spawned this quote from Mike, “One student even asked if they could turn in an assignment after the weekend just so they could use the new home install they had just received.”  Talk about inspiration!  I appreciate what these guys are doing personally and what SolidWorks is doing Corporately to support the next generation of engineers.  If you appreciate what they are doing as well, leave comments here or on Mike’s blog.

  • Rich,

    Getting to go out and visit students and customers to me is the single greatest benefit of working for SolidWorks. I know that I will jump at any chance to go and interact with students or users just because it's so much fun to see their passion. I have a trip scheduled for next month to speak at a user group, and while I am there I will get tvisit 4 customers, and hopefully stop by my old high school. The education side of SolidWorks is in extremely capable hands with Marie Planchard. If you looks at the success of the program there is no doubt how committed SolidWorks is to the education industry, and our customers as a whole.

    Whats great is to see the passion of users like yourself that go out and share their experiances with others who in turn then want to get involved. We should be commending you on a job well done!
  • Thanks Mike,
    I hope the understanding of my post is that SolidWorks is committed to
    education an that we are seeing this everyday with the support given.
    Keep up the good work and let us know how we can help.
