A hands on approach is best for students learning CAD and FEA. I will set you or your student up with demonstration pieces that they can play with and learn at their own pace while giving as much instruction as they need.
For CAD, typical lesson plans involve:
1. Basic interface
2. Making 2D Sketches
3. Making 3D Solids
4.Troubleshooting techniques
5. Assemblies
6. Advanced modeling (Surfacing and Parametric)
7. Drawings
8. Advanced CAD and Assemblies.
For FEA, typical lesson plans involve:

- Dante is a great student and is eager to learn. He is adaptable with his tools and has a clear vision for his projects.Michael's response :
Perfect! Michael tutored me in SolidWorks for my biomedical engineering class at San José State. He explained things in a clear and steady way, which helped me understand the steps better. I liked that he focused on the basics first and made sure I knew how to build the features correctly instead of just copying.
His tutoring helped me feel more comfortable with the software and with my class assignments. Overall, he was patient, straightforward, and easy to learn from. I would recommend Michael to other students who need SolidWorks help.- Shaden is an excellent student that is very appreciative of the learning process.Michael's response :
