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.
