We want to hear what you are doing with MSC software at your school – tell us your story and be entered to win an 8GB iPod touch! A new lucky winner will be selected and announced every 3 months. Whether or not you win our prize, you can benefit in other ways. For instance, when interviewing for your next job, you can direct recruiters to this story describing your impressive simulation work with MSC software! These stories are not intended to be "journal quality", but rather simple, visually compelling, and informative. Take a look at our existing Academic Success Stories to see just how fast and easy entering can be.
