    U Teaching & Learning with MSC Software

    back to the top
    Your MSC web account provides access to our online discussion forums & knowledge base
    We recently modified the way we provide access to our online resources. So if you previously had access, you may need to re-register. If you have not done so already, we encourage you to register for your new MSC web account immediately. Once you have done so, your access will be restored as long as we can trace your use of MSC software to a valid support account. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we implement new systems to serve you better.

    Faculty-only website hosted by MSC
    Raise your awareness for the art-of-the-possible with MSC software by reviewing our ever-growing list of schools and the courses they are teaching with our FEA, Motion, and/or SimDesigner for CATIA University Bundles. This protected website for faculty only also enables you to download MSC's introductory-level training materials for re-use in your courses. To request access, send email to university@mscsoftware.com or check the corresponding box on the "Request Information" web page here: www.mscsoftware.com/university/contact/

    Presentations given by faculty at MSC's annual customer conference in October 2007
    VPD Conference At MSC's annual conference on Virtual Product Development (VPD) in Detroit a few months ago, faculty came from all over North America to discuss and share some best practices related to using MSC software in their engineering curricula. Review their presentations here: www.mscsoftware.com/events/vpd2007/na/university.cfm

    MSC Welcome Kit for universities
    To help both faculty & students alike know all the best ways to take advantage of MSC's University Program resources, we developed an MSC University Welcome Kit. As the name implies, we created this set of information primarily for new U customers and will automatically send them a copy going forward. But we believe this material may be useful to many of our existing U customers as well. To request your copy (as a PDF file), send an email to university@mscsoftware.com.

    MSC University Simulation Story Contest
    As usual, we have uploaded to our website the latest MSC University Simulation Contest Stories demonstrating how MSC software is being used in a variety of ways at universities like yours, from biomedical research to classroom instruction. Be sure to check out the most recent winner of our iPod contest prize, given away 4 times a year to the most compelling simulation story with MSC software.

    MSC Campus Visits
    We are very interested in learning more about your goals for using engineering simulation software in your teaching and/or research. And we would welcome the opportunity to share with you some of the latest changes to MSC's University Program and our company's strategic vision. If that is sounds beneficial to you, let us know we are invited – by sending an email to university@mscsoftware.com. We will do our best to have a qualified member of our team visit with you and/or other engineering faculty & students on your campus!
