CSWA book review, January 6, 2009
By
Bhushan Kable (dayton, ohio,45324)
This is a good book to start for the beginers who recently started SW but for CSWA you need to work more on the models by your own. This book contain all the necessary information required for the exam but you cannot blindly go through this book and say I will pass if I am done with this book .
To pass this exam you will need:
"Book" + "1 week 11 Hr a day solid modeling" + "Any design book" which has more example to model solid parts with the information given in 3 basic views and isometric view.

As all colleges do, we offer adult evening classes on programs which our advisory board recommends. This semester, we offered our first evening SolidWorks CSWA Certification program. To my surprise, the class was filled in four days with 20 students, some from industry, and some from our engineering program.
I use the SolidWorks CSWA Certification Guide in class. The book is a comprehensive review and practice package for the certification. Every chapter focuses your study and tests your knowledge of the subject through specially designed assessment exercises. What is especially great about this book is that it includes self study sections with the initial and final models.
For anybody starting to prepare for the CSWA exam, this is the book you should be looking at.

Ammar KamilI enjoy the modeling techniques presented in the book which I did not encounter in my Solidworks training; it is always a good practice to learn for any software from different prospective. So this book does not only prepare you to the exam it also teaches you the most effective and smartest modeling techniques.
I pass the exam with 80% mark, but be careful guys, the parts in the exam was NOT easy.
Well done!! , December 12, 2007

T. HightsI've been using Engineering Design with SolidWorks by Planchard and Planchard in my classroom for the past few years. In my opinion, this is one of the finest SolidWorks books on the market today. As an instructor, I can appreciate when an author/s writes a brilliant user friendly book with clear step by step procedures and illustrations to educate the student. This makes my life in the classroom a lot easier....
This fall, my students requested to take the CSWA Certification exam. I had my students purchase this book which we used for the exam preparation. The students enjoyed the book immensely. The book is focused on the exam, by key categories with many examples and exercises. I would not recommend this book for anyone who does not have at least six to eight months of SolidWorks knowledge. The CSWA exam is not an easy exam, but like any industry certification, it provides a tangible measurement to the skill sets of the student in 3D CAD. Well done.
