Case Study: Ulster University supports student employability and local business growth with Solid Edge

Ulster University boosts student employability with Solid Edge through a 3-year industrial placement

Ulster University, a higher education institution in Northern Ireland, sought to enhance its students' employability with practical industrial skills while also supporting innovation and growth for local businesses. To meet this challenge, the university implemented Solid Edge software from Siemens.

Using Solid Edge as a teaching platform, the university provides students with valuable CAD skills that are in high demand across industry sectors. The solution enables students to gain real-world experience during industrial placements, with one student being put in charge of all 3D CAD at a local company. This approach from Solid Edge not only significantly boosts student employability but also supplies local companies with needed expertise, supporting industrial innovation throughout Northern Ireland.
