ENGINEERING.com, IBM and Dassault Systèmes Demonstrate Latest
Commitment to Academia
Greatly
Expanded Functionality Available to Educators and Students Alike
TORONTO and PARIS -
November 16, 2006 -- ENGINEERING.com, IBM and Dassault Systèmes
today announced the release of Version 5 Release 17 (V5R17) of CATIA
and ENOVIA SmarTeam for the Education market. V5R17 education
solutions include CATIA for collaborative product development and
ENOVIA SmarTeam for collaborative lifecycle management, both
developed by Dassault Systèmes and part of the IBM PLM portfolio.
"The big news for
students is the broad increase in functionality in the new CATIA
Student Version," said John Hayes, President of ENGINEERING.com.
"Now the high-end features that make CATIA the undisputed design
leader for industry are included in the CATIA Student Version."
Dr. George Kizner,
Chair, Mechanical Engineering at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and
Technology, stated, "This new version of the CATIA Student software
includes everything students need to complete their assignments from
home and enable them to complete their capstone design projects. We
also expect that the coolness factor of using the world's leading
design software will encourage students to continue to explore their
engineering interests on their own time."
There is also good
news for educators with the introduction of the Discover
configuration, a full-featured suite of CATIA modules aimed at high
schools. The Discover configuration is intended to provide a basis
for introducing the world's leading design environment to students
at an early age. "As a secondary school educator, I was impressed
with the power of the new CATIA Discover configuration," said
Sharlene Kroneck, Mechanical Drawing Teacher at De La Salle
Collegiate High School in Warren, Michigan. "Our students are
excited by the fact that they can use the same tools in the
classroom that professional engineers use to design cars and
aircrafts."
CATIA V5 and ENOVIA
SmarTeam are two of the most advanced 3D design and collaborative
product data management software suites in the world, respectively.
Since 1997, colleges and universities around the world have used IBM
technology and curriculum content to implement CATIA V5 training in
both graduate and undergraduate programs.
Thus their students
can become proficient in the 3D application that has designed almost
50 percent of the cars on the road today and practically every large
aircraft in the last 10 years.
