What’s New for the 2019-2020 SOLIDWORKS Education Edition?

New for the 2019-2020 version for Education Edition is the availability of SOLIDWORKS Electrical and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design tools. Students are able to learn how electrical and mechanical departments work in concert with each other to collaborate in mechatronic designs. The rise of mechatronics as a focus for future engineers means that the jobs of the future will rely on a foundational understanding of this concept and how it applies to the real-world.
