Working Model 2D Moves into School Computer Labs

Dorm rooms, cafeteria food, all-nighters...and Working Model? The engineering student's experience at

colleges across the country is taking on a new element. Major universities like Rose-Hulman, Stanford,

University of Michigan, and others are busily incorporating Working Model as an integral part of their

academic environment. Rose-Hulman recently signed a deal to put Working Model on each laptop

computer that all incoming freshman receive each fall. Dr. Dave Purdy, Professor of Mechanical

Engineering at Rose-Hulman, has been instrumental in adopting Working Model. Says Dr. Purdy, “This

tool has already proven itself in the classrooms of Rose-Hulman during the past year. We are very

excited about putting it in the hands of our incoming freshmen.”

Many other universities around the country are also putting Working Model to use in their classrooms.

The mechanical engineering department at the University of Michigan has a 75 seat license. The

University of Houston has a 20 seat license, and Stanford University has a 50 seat license. Schools

choose Working Model for many reasons: it is easy to learn and use; it produces accurate results; and it

is unparalleled as a pedagogical tool for classroom visualization. At the same time Working Model’s high

installed base in industry means that students are better trained on the tools they will use in their

engineering careers.
