Education for the industry of the future (IoF) with the 3D experience platform

Abstract

The role of universities is essential for the divulgation of the competences of the Industry of the Future (IoF) in students around the world. Therefore, the existence of different CAD software for Industrial Engineering, developed by several computer software companies (e.g. Autodesk, Siemens, Dassault Systèmes or Bentley Systems among many others), together with its possibility of working in a shared environment have vital importance. In this way, Dassault Systèmes, one of the most recognized software modeling company in the world, created 3D Experience Platform. This platform jointly includes some of the programs of the Dassault Systèmes package such as Catia, Delmia or Enovia. Moreover, it is available on the premises and in a public or private cloud environment, where there is the Peer Learning Experience Platform, which offers teaching material, mainly based on Project-Based Learning (PBL). These characteristics make it an important tool for the future of the engineering world, in accordance to Industry 4.0, in which some Spanish universities currently have a key role.
