VMware is used by many engineering classes at UA such as ENGR 161 and ME 350. To obtain a copy of Solidworks please email it.eng.ua.edu and contact your professor about licensing.

Because Solidworks is only available on Windows, students using Macs will either have to dual-boot Windows or run Windows as a virtual machine. The following tutorial videos are designed to walk Mac users through these steps.

For additional assistance on problems not covered in these tutorials, please email support@eng.ua.edu.
