University of Nottingham Selects Optima for Pro/E
 NOTTINGHAMSHIRE,
UK, Mar 13, 2009 - The University of Nottingham has chosen a 5 year commitment
to Pro/ENGINEER in the form of PTC University Plus Site licence from Optima,
which means over 1,200 students will be taught Pro/ENGINEER until 2013. Simon
Harrison, Course Director said “The driving factor was that Pro/ENGINEER
provides a complete suite of concept to manufacture, enabling Product Design and
Mechanical Engineering Students to utilise one tool that is considered best in
class. This, combined with the fact that Pro/ENGINEER is used in a wide range of
companies varying from SME’s to blue chip multi-nationals, giving students the
widest choice of career opportunities after graduation. In addition PTC’s
commitment to education with free training for lecturers and now free software
for students is the icing on the cake.”
“We chose to partner Optima because as well as their commitment to
education and expertise in PTC’s products they also use the software on a
daily basis for real life design work meaning they can support us to the
high level we expect” Simon Harrison also added. Ian Cowlishaw, Optima MD
commented, “Flagship Universities like the University of Nottingham send out
a clear message; PTC’s commitment to education and presence in the
marketplace means students will be given the best possible chance of
employment when going into the workplace. Choosing PTC’s technology gives
them and their students the edge”
The University of Nottingham is one of the premier Universities in the UK.
It’s history dates back to 1881, achieving Royal Charter in 1948. Recent
developments have been even more ambitious, with an overseas campus opened in

China. Both locations have new purpose-built campuses under development.
