Japan's Shibaura Selects Bentley BE Careers Network Program
 EXTON,
Pennsylvania, February 1, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today
announced that Shibaura Institute of Technology, a leading engineering
university in Tokyo, has selected the BE Careers Network program to help its
students graduate with market-ready technology skills.
Said Professor Yoichi Itai, Department of Architecture and Environment
Systems, College of Systems Engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology,
“3D object CAD has been widely used for some time in the machinery and
automotive industries and is now rapidly gaining popularity in the
architectural community. At Shibaura Institute of Technology, we also have
changed our thinking regarding CAD systems and are introducing our students
to 3D object CAD systems from three different CAD vendors.
“For example, I have started several architectural design classes that
incorporate 3D object CAD techniques. In these classes, students are shown
how they can use the flexibility of 3D object CAD to simulate the process of
creating actual models to design space. The purpose of this class is to
develop the students’ innate ability to think and create in 3D, and to free
them from the limitations imposed by relying solely on 2D CAD techniques.
The response from our students has been quite good.”
Continued Itai, “The students have mainly been using Bentley Architecture
in these classes, and also work with a variety of other Bentley software in
my laboratory. The students are free to choose from the wide selection, all
made possible through the BE Careers Network program.”
Added Professor Hisashi Fujii, who uses Bentley products in his facility
CAD class for the Department of Electrical Systems for Urban Engineering,
College of Engineering, “In my class, I have had students use Bentley
products to draw a schematic diagram and a floor plan of a house. Compared
to other CAD products, MicroStation is easy to use, so even students with no
CAD experience can start drawing immediately. My students have also gone
beyond drawing to try their hand at 3D modeling using MicroStation and found
it easy to do as well.
“But the ease of use and other capabilities of Bentley software weren’t
the only reasons why we decided to join the BE Careers program,” he
continued. “The program is dedicated to the needs of the academic community
and features discounted academic pricing. All of these benefits triggered
our decision to select Bentley.”
By providing students with the same Bentley solutions used by
infrastructure professionals, the BE Careers Network program increases their
chances of joining some of the most preeminent organizations in the world.
In addition, through tailored, flexible programs for students, teachers, and
schools, combined with free and discounted software, training, curriculum
counseling, and award programs, BE Careers Network enables colleges and
universities to cost-effectively incorporate architecture, engineering, and
construction technology into their curricula.
The program grants Shibaura Institute of Technology, which has been using
Bentley software in its classrooms since 1996, an unlimited campuswide
license—including upgrades and updates—for MicroStation and more than 30
software solutions for the design and management of infrastructure. The
license also provides technical support and home licenses so students can
work with the applications outside of the classroom.
About Shibaura Institute of Technology
Shibaura Institute of Technology will celebrate its 80th anniversary in
November of this year. Its Ohmiya Campus was opened in 1966 and since that
time, the university has been making steady progress as a training institute
for mid-level engineers by improving the ability of the faculty and their
respective departments to stay current on the latest trends in industry and
technology. Another new campus was opened in April of 2006 in Toyosu, Koto-ku
(Tokyo).
Currently about 7200 students are studying at the Shibaura Institute of
Technology in the following schools: Colleges of Engineering and Systems
Engineering, and Graduate Schools of Engineering and Engineering Management.
