Academia & Industry Collaboration: Preparing Students for Careers in Engineering Simulation

The future of the engineering simulation workforce is dependent on two essential elements: strength of the academic curricula & instruction, and industry engagement in those educational programs. In this NAFEMS webinar series, modern teaching and educational methods will be highlighted as used by academia in addressing the rapid advancements in engineering simulation techniques for students, both undergraduate and graduate, who are seeking careers across all technical domains and industries. Attention will be given to how and why industry/academia collaborative efforts are becoming significant factors in taking college-level educational environments to new plateaus.

Three webinars are included in this series, which will highlight collaboration between the following:

• University of Cincinnati Simulation Center & Procter & Gamble (December 8th, 2021)
• Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology (April 8th, 2022)
• The Ohio State University SIMCenter & Honda (July 21st, 2022)
