Hannah is not done yet with her SOLIDWORKS studies. Even though the school only offers 3-D drawing as a one semester science elective, Hannah has continued her studies independently and is currently preparing to take the SOLIDWORKS Finite Element Analysis certification exam some time in the spring.

Such qualifications set Hannah apart from other students and open many opportunities for her as she continues her studies at Staples and beyond into engineering school and in the private sector.
