Case Study: VTI Roeselare achieves real-world engineering skills and job-ready graduates with Solid Edge

Mechanics education provides graduates with vital job skills

VTI Roeselare, a technical secondary school in Belgium, faced a long-term decline in students choosing technical education (about a 50% drop over 20 years) and needed to make its mechanics and engineering programs more practical and career-ready. To address this, the school incorporated Solid Edge software (alongside NX from Siemens Digital Industries Software) into its mechanics, automotive and mechanical-design curricula to give students hands-on CAD/CAM experience.

By using Solid Edge as part of classroom and workshop training, VTI Roeselare delivers real-world engineering workflows and practical testing that prepare students for both university programs and immediate employment. Solid Edge helped students acquire engineering experience that is immediately employable, increasing their marketplace readiness and strengthening the school’s ability to teach job-relevant skills.
