Learn how we help engineers become day-one ready

Our Global Academic Program offers access to industry-grade software, learning resources, student engagement opportunities and credentials designed to ensure that learners have both the digital skill set and digital mindset required by industry.

Software access for all

Students can access our software for free simply by verifying their attendance at an academic institution, while educators can apply for a grant to offer software access to their classrooms. These options allow learners to familiarize themselves with the same software used by leading organizations, including CAD, CAM, CAE, EDA, PLM, simulation platforms and more.
