The area vice president of India and Japan Ansys, Mike Yeager said: “Ansys provides the required educational resources to empower future engineers. The Ansys Academic Program is committed to lowering the barrier to adopting Ansys simulation for the students. It provides a hands-on simulation experience that bridges the skills gap in the engineering industry and prepares engineering students for complex technologies. We are proud to champion this initiative and look forward to the groundbreaking innovations the upcoming engineers will introduce.”
As part of this initiative, the institute recently hosted a lecture under its corporate lecture series, titled Physics-based Simulation in Research and Education: Current Practices and Key Initiatives, delivered by Dipankar Choudhury, Ansys fellow and academic programme lead at Ansys.
The lecture focused on leveraging emerging technologies in digital twins, high-performance computing, machine learning, computational fluid dynamics, computational structural mechanics, computational electromagnetics, photonics, and optics as well as current and emerging technologies, the IIT Roorkee statement adds.
Dipankar further said: “IIT Roorkee is a pacesetter in the research and technology development of fast- growing, critically important areas such as Electronics, Semiconductors, and Space Technology. The collaboration will mutually strengthen the academic programs in these areas at IIT Roorkee while helping fill the demand in the industry for trained engineers equipped with the latest knowledge and expertise.”
