CD-adapco has launched No Engineer Left Behind, a new program that offers free CAE software and training to recently unemployed or displaced engineers. This opportunity, which the company says has an in-kind value of well over $25,000, offers qualifying engineers free six-month licenses and training for STAR-CCM+, CD-adapco's CFD code, with the goal of increasing their future employability.

"The unfortunate state of the global economy has left many highly talented engineers as its innocent victims," says Bill Clark, CD-adapco's senior vice president of operations. "The No Engineer Left Behind program is specifically designed to enable these engineers to enhance their computer-aided engineering skills and improve their marketability into one of the most buoyant areas of the engineering business."

Qualifying engineers are invited to attend a free three-day training course at any CD-adapco training facility worldwide. In the United States, training facilities are located in Detroit, Houston, and Seattle. The training will focus on the practical application of STAR-CCM+ to the solution of industrial problems. Skills learned can easily be deployed in a wide range of industries, including: aerospace and defense, automotive, biomedical, buildings, chemical, environmental, marine, oil and gas, power generation, and turbomachinery.

Available training courses cover topics in a number of areas, including: introductory and advanced STAR-CCM+; engineering process automation through JAVA scripting; virtual tow tank — computational simulation training for naval architects and marine engineers; effective heat transfer modeling and more.

After completion of the first course, attendees will take home a certificate of competence, and a free six-month software license of STAR-CCM+.
