ENGINEERING.com (TSX-V: EGN), IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Dassault Systèmes (DS) (NASDAQ: DASTY) (Euronext Paris: #13065) (Paris: DSY) 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.
