He was not necessarily trying to be one of the youngest CSWEs in the world, but it was certainly a perk. In December 2019, only a few months after his 15 th birthday, Lucas passed the CSWE exam. There were no SOLIDWORKS mentors in his school, however so he had to learn how to use the software on his own, and learn he did. After researching the design solutions available to new teams, Lucas chose SOLIDWORKS. Lucas discovered SOLIDWORKS as a 14-year-old when he joined his high school’s first ever FIRST Robotics team.
