The Integrated Product Lifecycle Engineering (IPLE) lab at Georgia Tech and DS have produced a cloud-based manufacturing and design infrastructure to teach budding engineers. This led to a STEM summer camp geared at high school students.
The program was funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and developed by the DS and Georgia Tech team. The camp saw students work as a team and collaborate on problems over large distances from between Georgia Tech, the University of Detroit Mercy, and the University of New Haven, Connecticut. Distance collaboration is an important feature of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
According to ENGINEERING.com’s Dave Livingstone, program manager for 3DEXPERIENCE academic sales, “this summer camp between Dassault Systemes and Georgia Tech are an example of how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will change education. From a broader perspective, the 3DEXPERIENCE is very exciting for academia. It opens many doors to improve the way that education is delivered, to the way educators educate and to the way students learn.”
Prof. Daniel Schrage, IPLE Director and leader to develop the STEM summer camps said, “Our relationship with Dassault Systèmes has been exceptionally durable and produced substantial outcomes. We now pave the road for further, broader achievements, especially in student learning educational innovation.”
Georgia Tech has advanced their partnership with DS in an effort to push systems engineering in a technologically growing industry. Their Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL), known for cyber-physical systems research, will include 3DEXPERIENCE analysis and decisions into their curriculum
“Industry faces a dramatic need for talent in systems engineering.” said Dimitri Mavris, Georgia Tech Professor. “Our programs are strongly driven by industry cases and we trust that our collaboration will bring new advances in the way complex systems are analyzed and designed,”
“ASDL is one of the top labs in the USA on this topic and they will use Dassault Systèmes’ unique systems engineering capabilities to bring integrated geometric, logical, functional and requirement modeling to tomorrow’s engineers. We and our partners at ASDL and IPLE have heard the need from industry,” said Philippe Forestier, Executive VP at Dassault Systèmes.
He adds that, “our relationship with Georgia Institute of Technology is a shining example of the way we approach academia by helping transform the learning experience. Together we are bringing more industry realism into curricula and addressing the entire STEM pipeline to provide industry the employable and competitive workforce it needs.”
