It was inspiring to see three \u201cgenerations\u201d of Solid Edge users interacting this week – professional, college and high school engineers all talking and sharing ideas. The student engineers enjoyed talking with Brad Jaeger and Oliver Kuttner of Edison2<\/A>. All shared ideas on designing better cars.

Brad says he was inspired to pursue engineering from his father, who was an electrical engineer and \u201ccar nut.\u201d His father instilled in him to think like an engineer early in his life. In our video interview Brad talks about his engineering career and what he recommends student engineers focus on.

<\/P>\u201cThis project (Edison2) is something that can captivate the young audience. It can get them interested in engineering. Hopefully we can get more students going through engineering school and learning Solid Edge.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>
Brad says he was blown away at how proficient FSAE student engineers from Auburn University are in Solid Edge. He encourages students to pursue projects that provide real-world experience. (Especially those that give you Solid Edge experience ;-))\u201cBecause it\u2019s what we believe in and what we use, if they have Solid Edge on their resume, they go straight to the top of our list.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>
That\u2019s Brad\u2019s story, what\u2019s yours?

P.S. If you’re a student and want to take Brad up on his advice, you can start by downloading the free student edition of Solid Edge<\/A>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
