Under a partnership with Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), Stevens Institute of Technology and the Educational Technology Training Centers (ETTC) will train middle and high school teachers in the Pro/ENGINEER (Pro/E) Schools Edition software.
Pro/E is an engineering computer-aided design (CAD) tool with fully associative capabilities spanning modeling, assemblies, drawings, animations, kinematic analysis and design optimization, renderings and more. Pro/E Schools Edition is developed specifically to introduce middle and high school students to design technology and help them to become better problem solvers, critical thinkers and collaborators. Participants will learn Pro/ENGINEER thorough multimedia tutorials and project-based activities.
After completing the 2-day training workshop, PTC will donate 300 licenses of Pro/ENGINEER Schools Edition 3D design software to each teacher. The commercial value of the software is $2,500 per license, an equivalent of $750,000 per teacher.
The workshops are being offered at various ETTCs across the state. For more information visit the link above.
