Bentley Seeks Nominations for 2010 Student Design Contest
 EXTON,
PA, Nov 24, 2009 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing
comprehensive software solutions for the infrastructure that sustains our world,
today announced that the call for nominations for its 2010 Student Design
Competition is now open. University, technical college, high school, and middle
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 a distinguished panel of 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 both individual efforts and
those of teams consisting of no more than three members. All submissions must be
received by Feb. 26, 2010. Bentley will award a $1,500 scholarship to the winner
in each of the categories at the university/college level and a $1,000
scholarship to the winner at the middle school/high school level.“Design and
engineering firms have made it clear that, when assessing job candidates
from the next generation of engineers and architects, they will look for
knowledge in the use of advanced 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 initiatives such as the student design
competition, coupled with affordable access to Bentley software at the
secondary education, technical college, and university levels, to create a
foundation for inspiring and preparing young people to enter and sustain the
engineering and architectural professions.”
Lofgren continued, “The project submissions to our student design
competition have become more intricate and creative every year. Using
Bentley software, students can explore more imaginative designs and achieve
a higher quality of work. The results are rewarding for all of us, as we are
able to review and admire an extraordinary array of fabulous projects. I
have no doubt that our panel of independent judges will be charged with
making some very tough decisions in our 2010 competition.”
University and technical college students can submit projects in one of
three categories: “Architectural Design,” “Computational Design,” and
“Engineering.” Middle school and high school students can participate in the
“Design a Medical Facility of the Future” category. For each category,
students must make clear the project’s problem, intent, and solution, and
support their design models with architectural or engineering drawings using
any of the applications in Bentley’s comprehensive portfolio of software.
The winning students, along with their projects, will be recognized at
their respective schools. In addition, each winner or winning team will
receive a scholarship and handcrafted award to display, and be able to
choose 10 seats of Bentley software – from the more than 50 products
available through the academic subscription – for use by their school.
