Crash Course in Siemens Software

By Dora Smith

In many schools engineering education is the same today as it was 30 years ago. This podcast series seeks out those that are driving change.

Parikshit Borgowda is a graduate student engineer teaching at the University of Cincinnati. He drives change in the classroom by infusing real-world experiences. He developed a crash course for students to learn and apply Siemens software on practical examples and hands-on application.

Listen to Hannah Straub’s interview with Parikshit to learn how his crash course in Siemens software helps engineering students get a leg up in their studies and work. 

Summary

Most engineering students learn from hands-on experiences, but more often than not the only “experiences” they get are classroom lectures. 


This is why Parikshit Borgowda, a graduate student engineer, is driving changes in the engineering curriculum at a top university. He integrates practical examples and real-world applications to drive change on campus. He developed an entire crash course for students to use in order to learn Siemens software. 


So, listen to this crash course in Siemens software to learn how Parikshit Borgowda is exponentially helping engineering students get a leg up in their studies and work.
