As the engineering industry continues to evolve, it is important for universities and industries to work together to prepare future engineers for the problems of tomorrow. With virtual learning resources and online courses, students and educators can bring Siemens software and programs right in the classroom at all education levels.

Student learning from home

As the Global Academic Partner team strategizes about how we can best support our academic ecosystem in the longer-term, it is important to be aware of Siemen Software’s free resources that can be used to support remote learning.

This video will help you understand the administrative capabilities that faculty can use to assign and monitor progress on learning content, while these instructions will help you to create syllabi with links directly to the course material you wish to assign. (Note if your school has not activated their membership and you wish to get started on your own, you can get a free 30-day subscription to Learning Advantage.)
