Brinderson Donates Inventor to Glendale Community College
 SAN
RAFAEL, California, July 12, 2007 - Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today
announced that Brinderson & Associates, a full-service engineering,
construction and maintenance company, has donated $200,000 worth of Autodesk
Inventor Professional software to Glendale Community College. The gift was
made possible through the Autodesk Invest in Education program, which gives
commercial companies that purchase Autodesk software the opportunity to
donate seat licenses to an educational institution of their choice. The
software grant will allow Glendale Community College to train its students
on the latest version of Autodesk Inventor -- the foundation for digital
prototyping -- enabling the development of a first-rate talent pool for
local engineering companies to draw upon.
"We are pleased to be Brinderson & Associates' chosen partner and
recipient of software through the Autodesk Invest in Education program,"
said Kim Holland, executive director of the Professional Development Center
at Glendale Community College. "We have many engineering and aerospace firms
in the area who rely on us to provide practical, customized training in
technical and professional skills. By teaching students the latest versions
of Inventor software, we are helping those employers to maintain a
competitive edge in their industries."
Brinderson's purchase of the Autodesk program suite -- including Inventor
Professional and AutoCAD software -- allowed them to direct funds equaling
twice the amount of their total purchase towards Glendale Community College,
providing 30 licenses of Autodesk Inventor for training purposes.
"The Autodesk Invest in Education Program has been a terrific way for us
to support and strengthen the local community," said Jesse Gaytan, a CAD
manager at Brinderson & Associates who is also an instructor at Glendale
Community College. "Providing the next generation of engineers with access
to best-in-class technologies like Inventor Professional helps us ensure
that we'll have the highly trained personnel we need to meet the future
needs of our ever growing client base."
Brinderson learned of the Autodesk Invest in Education program from KETIV
Technologies, a leading Autodesk reseller and the only manufacturing premier
solutions provider serving the Southwest United States.
"We have been based in Southern California for more than 20 years, and
have made a real investment in developing the engineering community," said
Erin Spinney, marketing manager at KETIV. "We were thrilled to use the
Autodesk Invest in Education program to connect a leading local enterprise
like Brinderson with a local educational institution like Glendale Community
College -- it has been a big win for all parties."
