Software supports engineering education
Boston University is using 500 licences of SolidWorks Education Edition to teach freshmen and sophomores CAD and engineering fundamentals.
The department, in conjunction with the Glasgow School of Art, will begin teaching SolidWorks 3D CAD and SolidWorks Simulation design validation software in the Product Design Engineering degree program next autumn.
"The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Glasgow offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate taught degree programmes that impose a wide and challenging range of demands on the 3D CAD software used by the students", said Dr Graham Green, Senior Lecturer in Engineering Design, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Glasgow.
"An additional challenge is provided by the needs of students taking our joint course in Product Design Engineering, taught in conjunction with the Glasgow School of Art".
"Only one piece of software fully met the challenge: SolidWorks".
SolidWorks Education Edition will give University of Glasgow graduate and undergraduate students a hands-on product development experience that exposes them to concept innovation through design to prototyping and testing.
The department will use SolidWorks Education Edition's prepackaged coursework, curriculum and student certification platform to support everything from lesson planning to assessment.
