Design and Assemble an IC Engine Using SolidWorks

By the end of this course, learners will be able to model, assemble, and validate a complete internal combustion (IC) engine using SolidWorks, applying parametric design principles, mechanical relationships, and assembly constraints to real-world engineering components. Learners will develop the ability to create detailed 3D parts, construct functional sub-assemblies, and integrate complex mechanisms such as pistons, crankshafts, gears, and valve trains into a fully constrained engine assembly. This hands-on case study guides learners through the complete IC engine design workflow, moving from individual part modeling to final assembly verification. Through step-by-step demonstrations, learners gain practical experience in sketching, solid modeling, reference geometry, and mating strategies essential for mechanical design roles. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end project-based approach, where every component is designed with assembly intent and functional motion in mind. Instead of isolated exercises, learners build a realistic engine model that reflects industry-style CAD practices. This course is ideal for mechanical engineering students, CAD professionals, and SolidWorks users seeking to strengthen their practical 3D modeling and assembly skills through a comprehensive, real-world design project.

The way they explain the assembly of the valvetrain and crankshaft in SolidWorks is both technically precise and easy to follow.

HD

5.0Reviewed May 13, 2026

This course pushed my knowledge of SolidWorks features to the limit. Revolve, Sweep, and Loft operations are used brilliantly to create realistic engine components and complex geometries.

AT
