Solidworks
For the final project of my Engineering Graphics course we were tasked with making a Solidworks model of the above vise and then using the model to make detailed engineering drawings of each part and the assembly. The final exam for this course was the Solidworks associate of mechanical design certification exam, were I earned 225 points out of the maximum 240 with a 165 required to pass.

Solidworks FEA Simulations
In my sophomore Mechanics of Materials class, we used Solidworks simulation tools to do finite element analysis of different specimens and compared them to experimental data gathered from our previous labs. When classes went online due to COVID-19 these simulations were used as substitutes for the remaining labs we had scheduled for the semester.
