PITTSBURGH, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Ansys is transforming engineering curricula through a
partnership with Cornell University to
develop simulation courses, supplementing online learning
- Cornell's SimCafe tutorials will
now be accessible on the Ansys Innovation Courses platform
Ansys and Cornell University's
Sibley School of Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering are transforming online engineering
curriculum with new simulation-based online courses. The
collaboration satisfies the increased demand for remote learning
and brings simulation software to the forefront of teaching.
As graduating engineers and young professionals face demanding
positions and high expectations in the workplace, Cornell and Ansys are arming them with access to
world-class simulation education. Through this collaboration with
Cornell, Ansys lowers the barrier for
simulation education and equips a new era of engineers to succeed
within advanced engineering teams, who increasingly leverage
simulation to solve complex engineering problems.
Faculty from Cornell's College of
Engineering will design and develop courses with
eCornell, the university's external education unit, while
Ansys provides support for the inclusion of real-world application
examples and detailed technical write-ups of problem formulations,
engineering assumptions, simulation approaches and results
interpretation. The courses' flexible format enables participants
to complete the curricula on their own timelines. Courses will be
offered for both students and professionals seeking to bolster
their skillsets. Additionally, Cornell
has chosen the Ansys Innovation Courses platform to host their
existing SimCafe tutorials. Cornell
will work closely with Ansys to migrate all of their tutorials to
the Innovation Courses learning structure, resulting in more than
50 new Cornell courses, adding to the
more than 75 existing Ansys Innovation courses.
"Simulation is a disruptive technology that can be used to
transform engineering curriculum at the university level," said
Rajesh Bhaskaran, Swanson director
of engineering simulation at Cornell
University's Sibley School of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. "As simulation becomes a
standard feature of curriculum for teaching physics and
applications, nearly every engineering graduate should be able to
use simulation software effectively. Together with Ansys, we look
forward to preparing engineers with the simulation skillset they
need."
"Through our continued collaboration with Cornell University, we are helping students and
professionals engineer what's ahead throughout every stage of their
career," said Prith Banerjee, chief
technology officer at Ansys. "As simulation continues to
revolutionize how engineering is done, the eCornell courses,
supplemented by our Ansys Innovation Courses, will ensure that
participants gain the experience needed to excel in the
ever-changing industry."
The Cornell courses are now open for
registration. To learn more or to sign up, please visit
