Bentley 2012 Student Design Contest Call for Nominations
 HUNTSVILLE,
AL, Sep 14, 2011 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing
comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, today announced
that the call for nominations for its 2012 Student Design Competition is now
open. University, college, high school, and technical school students are
invited to submit projects designed using Bentley software, along with a short
essay describing their work. Project submissions will be judged by an
independent panel of distinguished educational leaders and industry
professionals from around the world. The judges will focus on creativity and
skill in applying design and engineering principles. The competition, which is
sponsored by Bentley’s Be Careers Network, welcomes individual and team efforts
comprising no more than three members. All submissions must be received by March
6, 2012. Bentley will award a $2,000 scholarship to the winning individual or
team in each of the categories at the college/university level, and a $1,500
scholarship to the winning individual or team at the high school/technical
school level.“Design and engineering firms have made it clear that, when
assessing job candidates from the pool of promising young engineers and
architects, they look for those who have sharpened their skills in the use
of advanced information modeling software and other technology needed to
design, build, and operate better-performing, more sustainable
infrastructure,” said Scott Lofgren, global director of Be Careers Network.
“Our Be Careers Network uses programs such as the student design
competition, coupled with affordable access to Bentley software at the high
school, technical school, community college, college, and university levels,
to create a foundation for inspiring and preparing students to enter and
sustain the engineering and architectural professions.”
University, college, or community college students can submit projects in
one of five categories: “Architectural Design,” “Road or Bridge Design,”
“Rendering/Animation Using MicroStation,” “Engineering,” and “Solving a
Problem With GIS Technology.” High school and technical school students can
participate in the “Design a Public Transport Center” category. Submissions
in each category must make clear the project’s problem, intent, and
solution, and support the design models with architectural or engineering
drawings using any of the applications in Bentley’s comprehensive portfolio
of software for sustaining infrastructure.
Students, along with their winning projects, will be recognized at their
respective schools. Each winner or winning team will receive a handcrafted
award for display at school. Winners and winning teams will also be able to
choose 10 seats of Bentley software – from the more than 50 products
available through the academic subscription – for use by their schools.
