iTWire UPDATE - it's FREE!


Students, researchers and faculty at Western Australia’s Curtin University and the university’s overseas campuses, now have unlimited access to commercial-grade software applications for designing, building, and operating infrastructure through Bentley Systems’ academic subscription program.

Under the contract between Curtin University and Bentley, access is provided to the Bentley Academic Subscription program’s Be Careers Network for a three-year term. The announcement was made at special ceremony at Curtin attended by Ian Callahan, Curtin University vice president, Corporate Services, and George Church, Bentley senior vice president.

Ian Callahan said the applications could be used on all campus computers as well as on student and faculty PCs, and provided a variety of learning resources, including manuals, textbooks, hands-on live training, and on-demand self-study offered through the Bentley LEARN Server, along with opportunities for scholarships. “The school’s new academic subscription will help Curtin students graduate with the technology skills they need to start careers as infrastructure professionals.”

“This is a strategic addition to developing Curtin’s information and communications technology initiatives. With seamless access to Bentley software, our students will graduate with the strong skills and knowledge that their prospective employers need to establish or maintain leadership in the design, development, maintenance, and operation of built assets around the world.

“A distinctive feature of this program is the provision of anywhere, anytime access to Bentley’s learning materials for students and staff through Curtin’s online portal OASIS. This learning opportunity, which is made possible by Bentley Institute’s innovative OnDemand offerings, cements the university’s position as a leader in the adoption of digital learning technologies.”
