The development of technical drawing competence for vocational lecturers is an urgent necessity to meet the increasingly complex demands of the industry, particularly in utilizing design software such as SolidWorks. This development program is supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture through the Vocational Lecturer Competency Development Program (NDPKD), which offers training and certification for the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA). The training was conducted at Politeknik Perkapalan Negeri Surabaya, involving 20 lecturers from various polytechnics across Indonesia. The program lasted four days and concluded with an international certification exam on the fifth day. The implementation methods included simulations, hands-on part and assembly modeling, and the CSWA competency test. The training results indicated that all participants successfully passed the certification with scores ranging from 175 to 240, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in enhancing lecturers' competencies. This achievement not only provides professional recognition but also boosts lecturers’ confidence in applying technical design skills in classroom instruction. The CSWA training serves as a significant solution for lecturers to integrate technical design skills aligned with industry standards, contributing to the improvement of higher education performance indicators.
