Taking the Best & Making It Better: How Engineers Learned in 2021
Sir Henry Royce said, “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” In another year full of unexpected challenges and changes, we saw tens of thousands of engineers make great strides in advancing their skills through online training and Technical Certificates. And we were right alongside you, building a network of engineers and expanding our course library to include current tutorials on the latest industry topics.
Here’s a glimpse of how we’ve grown:
New CAD, CAM, and BIM Video Tutorials
Last year, SolidProfessor’s in-house engineers were hard at work developing new courses for SOLIDWORKS, AEC, GD&T, and more.
Explore new and refreshed courses added to the SolidProfessor library in 2021.
