PTC, French Education Ministry To Train Engineers Of Tomorrow
PRESS RELEASE
March 2009
PTC, the Product Development Company, has entered an agreement with the French National Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education and Research to provide PLM technology training in schools across France.
In many countries, PTC offers students, from college to university, an original program for Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) education in the form of software, training or course materials for teachers.
In France, the National Ministry of Education has also decided to adopt this program, which aims to bridge the gap between the educational ‘theory’ and the ‘practical’ aspects of the real-life professional, industrial world.
This agreement is based on two essential principles:
Free individual license for all teachers in France Via a web link, teachers will be able to download for free, and for unlimited duration, Pro/ENGINEER software and access over 80 hours of online training. The flagship software of the PTC range, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 is one of the most powerful parametric CAD solutions on the market. It can be used to design, analyse and manufacture any product. This means that the teachers benefiting from the scheme will be able to give shape to their CAD/CAM ideas, to create models and complex surfaces and produce real-life simulations while connecting instantaneously to the necessary information and resources.
Free access to a ‘site license’ for teachers in secondary education establishments Teachers in secondary establishments who have successfully completed preliminary training will have free access to a Pro/ENGINEER Schools Edition license. This Site License will provide free accesses to the establishment, and will additionally allow students to use Pro/ENGINEER in their homes. PTC will also provide access to teaching materials for schools participating in this program. What is more, every establishment will be able to take part in the PTC Collaborative Engineering project via access to a PLM platform.
A dedicated site (www.ptc.com/go/education) provides all the information that teachers and students need.
"We are very pleased to have PTC taking part in the operation: 'A Key to Getting Started' ('Une Clé pour Démarrer') and extending the resources for all teachers," said Jean-Yves Capul, Deputy-Director, Information and Communication Technologies at the French Ministry of Education.
"The PTC Education Program puts the emphasis on training the teachers and facilitates the introduction of PLM at secondary level. This program is of massive benefit for both teachers and students!"
