Key Highlights
- Ansys is reshaping how engineering students learn physics
principles with free, online Ansys Innovation Courses, a new
addition to the Ansys Academic Program
- Ansys Innovation Courses extend beyond physics theory and
reinforce concepts with high-fidelity Ansys simulations and
real-world case studies
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) is reshaping how engineering students
learn physics principles through the launch of free, online Ansys
Innovation Courses, a new addition to the Ansys Academic Program.
Accelerating the future of engineering education, the on-demand
program integrates real-world simulation case studies within
physics theory short courses to teach complicated physics concepts
and phenomena.
As universities worldwide shuttered to reduce the spread of
COVID-19, many physics-based curriculums pivoted from
classroom-based instruction to online learning. Only by coupling
online courses with the power of simulation can students visualize
and reinforce complicated physics concepts. From undergraduates
beginning their engineering journey to professionals mastering new
skills, Ansys Innovation Courses lower the barrier to quickly
learning physics with simulation-based lessons that span many
physics principles.
Ansys Innovation Courses extend beyond physics theory and
reinforce concepts with high-fidelity Ansys simulations and
real-world case studies. Available to anyone but developed for
students and early-career engineers, Ansys Innovation Courses'
comprehensive educational experience features online lecture videos
led by Ansys experts, handouts, homework, tutorials and quizzes.
The program also includes several courses from Ansys' academic
partners, such as Cornell University
and the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte (UNCC).
"Ansys Innovation Courses provide students with a unique online
learning environment that no textbook can match. I'm proud to help
contribute to this important initiative through the development of
electromagnetics instruction materials," said Kathryn Leigh Smith, assistant professor,
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UNCC.
"Supplementation of lecture material with animations and
demonstrations that leverage cutting-edge Ansys simulations enables
students to fully grasp these fundamental principles, and their
application to solving today's engineering challenges."
"In these uncertain times, remote learning has become the new
normal. Ansys Innovation Courses empower students to supplement
their traditional education, take control of their own learning and
rapidly absorb physics concepts," said Prith Banerjee, chief technology officer at
Ansys and executive sponsor of the Ansys Academic Program. "Merging
the two worlds of physics theory instruction with simulation
delivers a dynamic new way for students to learn — both at the
grassroots undergraduate level and for engineers seeking to refresh
their skillsets."
