Industries: CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA
Gothenburg, Sweden- Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext
Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that this fall Sweden's
Halmstad University will launch a new program "CAD Technician" to
prepare Sweden's next generation engineers for the workplace. The core
of the program's curriculum is based on PLM solutions from Dassault
Systèmes used by leading companies throughout the region including
CATIA for virtual product design, ENOVIA for collaborative product
innovation, and SIMULIA for realistic product simulation.
"At Halmstad University we work in tight collaboration with regional
industries. Most of them are using Dassault Systèmes PLM solutions,
and they say this is because the software is extremely powerful and
scaleable. Dassault Systèmes' vision is bold and carving a clear path
to the future, so it's important for our university to prepare our
students for this future," says Håkan Petersson, digital product
development lecture at Halmstad University.
Halmstad University and Dassault Systèmes have been working together
to bring students cutting-edge CAD education since 1999. CAD
Technician will focus on the latest digital tools in combination with
traditional engineering design instruction. The curriculum will
include eight specialized courses on the same software used by local
industries, including CATIA V5, ENOVIA SmarTeam and Abaqus FEA from
SIMULIA. An important component to the program is the university's
cooperation with Dassault Systèmes and the use of its software. With
the addition of CAD Technician to its curriculum, Halmstad University
reconfirms its position as one of Sweden's top Dassault Systèmes
academic educators.
"This is an excellent local example of Dassault Systèmes's investment
in academics. Halmstad University has very good relationships with
local industrials, watches the market attentively, and its small size
helps it to quickly adjust to changing industry needs. Throughout the
past eight years, Halmstad University has supported local industry by
educating highly qualified graduates trained in engineering design and
digital tools," says Pär Lindhe, nordic sales manager at Dassault
Systèmes AB.
"I think that the new CAD Technician program at Halmstad University
offers a very promising education and feel that the range of the
courses is very well thought through. It´s important to understand the
connection between CAD, CAE and PDM" says Bo P Nilsson, manager PD
training, Volvo Information Technology AB.
