These learners are keenly aware that in order to create a more sustainable, economically successful and stable future, radical changes in product and packaging design are needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this challenge, Siemens Digital Industries Software is proud to offer several exciting courses on Coursera aimed at equipping learners with the skills needed for sustainable design.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn about sustainability and the circular economy in this course from Siemens and CU Boulder&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is the first in a nine-course series on incorporating sustainability in technical management. The first three courses are already live. Learners can earn a digital badge for completion of each course, and a microcredential for completing the entire series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By attending this course, learners gain the strategies and tools needed to integrate sustainability into their daily life and the companies where they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also introduces students to the idea of the circular economy, which is an innovative way of decoupling economic growth from traditional resource extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/sustainability-and-the-circular-economy?specialization=applied-sustainability-technical-managers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">register for the course on the Coursera website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn the essentials of engineering and part design in Siemens NX, a key tool for sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens NX software is a powerful integration of CAD and CAM solutions. By downloading and using <a href=\"https:\/\/trials.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/trials\/nx-cad-cam-student-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NX CAD\/CAM Student Edition<\/a>, students can learn how to use powerful features like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/announcing-nx-cad-sustainability-impact-analysis-for-product-design\/\">NX sustainability impact analysis<\/a> used by professional engineers at leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a student or professional looking to quickly learn how to get the most from NX, be sure to take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/engineering-essentials-with-nx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intro to Siemens NX course<\/a> on Coursera. In this course, you\u2019ll learn how to create a drawing from a part model, analyze and compare techniques of assembly modeling and apply designs to real-world scenarios and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn how to assess sustainable engineering practices, environmental considerations and more in Expedite &#8211; Skills for Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students passionate about sustainability need more than theory.
