Howard and Musto's industry-leading text, Introduction To Solid Modeling Using Solidworks 2024, presents a tutorial-based introduction to solid modeling and the SOLIDWORKS software. Although the tutorials can be followed by anyone interested in learning the software, it is geared toward introductory engineering students or high school students interested in engineering. Accordingly, the examples and problems are based on the authors' experience with teaching engineering students.
