PITTSBURGH, Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Students at
the University of Connecticut will be better prepared to develop
new cutting-edge products by using the same engineering simulation
technology leveraged by thousands of professional engineers around
the world, thanks to an agreement with ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). The
ANSYS® suite of multiphysics software will also be used
extensively to support research activities across UConn.
ANSYS recently donated a campus-wide license to
UConn, giving students and researchers
access to leading structures, fluids, electronics and systems
simulation solutions used by tens of thousands of organizations in
virtually every industry. The ANSYS campus-wide solutions program
helps to consolidate curriculum tools, reduce software procurement
and IT costs, expand simulation scope and increase research
innovation.
"This is a win-win arrangement between UConn engineering and ANSYS," said Baki Cetegen, head of UConn's mechanical engineering department. "This
allows our students to learn to use the state-of-the-art
computational software for fluid dynamics, structural and thermal
analyses to analyze complex engineering problems. Their experience
in learning the engineering principles underlying these software
tools and using them in solving complex engineering problems make
them highly desirable for a large number of employers who use the
same software."
Mechanical engineering students, for example, will use ANSYS to
solve real-world engineering challenges as part of a
corporate-sponsored design program using some of the same software
they will employ after they graduate.
"We are proud to be narrowing the gap between classroom learning
and practical experience," says Murali Kadiramangalam, director of
the ANSYS academic program. "This initiative makes students more
marketable to employers by giving tomorrow's engineers hands-on
experience with the software they are most likely to use after
graduation. At the same time, the presence of ANSYS software in
engineering labs makes schools more attractive to students. If
students know that, by going to a particular school, they will be
able to develop the skills they need to land jobs, they are more
likely to enroll in that particular institution than go
elsewhere."
