As part of this novel initiative a workshop on “Getting the best out of 3D Modeling using SolidWorks” will provide the required orientation for the students to understand the evolution of 3D Modeling and the how-to of 3D Modeling using SolidWorks.
The workshop is open to students of Engineering Colleges in Tamilnadu. All attendees of the workshop stand to receive a SolidWorks Student Design Kit and scholarships for the CSWA Examination. The SolidWorks Student Design Kit will enable them to practice and prepare for the certification examination, which would be conducted on pre-announced dates in May and June, later this year.

We have taken ‘Design Ace 09’, as an opportunity to reach out to and address the talent pool by getting students certified on SolidWorks. The CSWA is a globally recognized certification and will for sure equip the students for a global career.”
‘Design Ace 09’ is an, annual design contests for all engineering students across TamilNadu being held on March 7 in Chennai. The competition is an effort to promote and encourage design capabilities among the engineering students in TamilNadu. BWIR has taken this effort to give an opportunity for young brains to bring out their fresh, innovative ideas and exhibit their design capabilities.
Announcing this unique initiative, Mr. P.M Ravikumar, Education Manager India-SAARC region at SolidWorks said, “We are proud to be part of this unique initiative, and this as a great opportunity for us to reach out to the student community to share our knowledge of Cutting Edge technologies.
