Introduction to Engineering simulations is a free, online course offered by the Cornell University, this course helps to analyse real-world engineering problems using ANSYS simulation software and gain important professional skills sought by employers.
Cornell University, a world-renowned and diverse Ivy League institution, is a community of scholars known for intellectual rigour and engaged in deep and broad research, teaching tomorrow's thought leaders to think otherwise, care for others, and create and disseminate knowledge with a public purpose. Once called "the first American university" by educational historian Frederick Rudolph, Cornell represents a distinctive mix of eminent scholarship and democratic ideals.
Interested candidates can enrol to this course on or before 15 February 2017.
