Exton, pennsylvania, USA
— Bentley recently announced that it will grant Haestad
Methods software, valued at $5 million, to colleges and universities
with degree programs in civil and environmental engineering.
Bentley announced its acquisition of Haestad Methods in August
2004.
The Haestad Methods water resources product line provides
for design, analysis, and management of water distribution
supply, municipal sanitary sewers, urban stormwater collection,
roadway and civil site drainage and flood control. Thousands
of schools worldwide already use Haestad Methods software
in their engineering courses, as well as the Haestad Methods
textbook, Computer Applications in Hydraulic Engineering.
"We're very pleased that our faculty and students will
now be able to explore the leading hydraulics and hydrology
software," said Dr. Randy Dymond of Virginia Tech's civil
and environmental engineering department. The department recently
received a grant for Haestad Methods software.
"Experience with this state-of-the-art software will
help teach students how to apply engineering principles in
the real world, as well as make them more marketable at graduation,"
Dymond said. Students will gain hands-on familiarity with
Haestad Methods software used by leading utilities, government
agencies, and engineering consulting firms.
Haestad Methods software can help supplement water resources
courses in a number of ways:
-
Instructors can create examples
of water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater networks as part
of their courses.
-
Students can design and analyze
water resources systems.
-
Instructors and students can
present their research at workshops and conferences.
Grants for Haestad Methods products are limited and will
be awarded on a competitive basis. University representatives
may request an application by e-mailing AcademicGrants@haestad.com
or visiting www.haestad.com/grants.
Other Bentley-sponsored academic programs related to the
Haestad Methods water resources product line include engineering
scholarships, library donations, and UTalk, an online discussion
group for university faculty, researchers, and students. For
