Download or read book CSWP Exam Preparation written by Ryan Lee and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, CSWP exam preparation: All-in-one guidebook with practice exams, is written to assist students in college and universities, engineers, and professionals who are interested in getting a certification of CSWP(Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional). There are so many books available for learning SOLIDWORKS, while there are very few books to help for CSWP exam preparation. To prepare for exams efficiently, future exam takers essentially need exam-oriented preparation books. There are some online/offline training programs. However, those are very expensive to prepare a CSWP exam. This book is divided into four parts. Part I covers introductory principles of CSWP, including fundamental knowledge of the CSWP exam. Part II covers the first segment of the CSWP exam mainly focusing on part modeling, including six practice exam sets. Also, key skills for passing the segment one exam are explained with various hands-on examples. Part III covers the second segment of the CSWP exam focusing on the configuration and design intent. Part IV covers the third segment focusing on the assemblies and mates. Organizing the book in this way is to help the students, engineers, and professionals to prepare the CSWP exam efficiently. This book has a significant number of pictorial descriptions of the steps with screenshots that a student should follow. Since 2018, the format of the CSWP exam has been updated. However, the problem pattern covered by the exam and the required SOLIDWORKS skill does not change significantly. To help adapt to this new format, two sets of updated tests form are included in each part. The first practice test set for each part is provided with a walkthrough instruction that includes a step-by-step problem-solving process, and the rest of the practice test sets are provided with the answers in the end-of-section with video tutorials. Time management is essential in CSWP, so it is recommended that you practice by completing the test within the specified time. It is hoped that students and engineers will find this edition useful for passing the CSWP exam in the first attempt.

For example, there are no established selection criteria for choosing new scanners and a knowledge base with the key information. The authors of the various chapters have years of real-world experience in selecting and implementing WSI solutions in various aspects of pathology practice. This text also discusses practical tips and pearls to address the selection of a WSI vendor, technology details, implementing this technology and provide an overview of its everyday uses in all areas of pathology. Chapters include important information on how to integrate digital slides with laboratory information system and how to streamline the “digital workflow” with the intent of saving time, saving money, reducing errors, improving efficiency and accuracy, and ultimately benefiting patient outcomes. Whole Slide Imaging: Current Applications and Future Directions is designed to present a comprehensive and state-of the-art approach to WSI within the broad area of digital pathology. It aims to give the readers a look at WSI with a deeper lens and also envision the future of pathology imaging as it pertains to WSI and associated digital innovations.
