We know that lecturers want to use the same systems in the classroom that their students will encounter in the workplace. And that is precisely what Eplan Education will offer them.
In the fast-evolving electrical engineering industry, Eplan Education is a version of our industry-leading ECAD software, tailored for students and educational institutions.
With it, your students can generate smart, professional, electrical designs and automation plans; produce 3D digital twins simply and quickly, as the foundation for panel production; and learn about the many productivity and efficiency benefits that ECAD software brings to the workplace.
Why Eplan ECAD software?
Many of your students are likely to go on to work in the fields of panel building, electrical design, automation design, and mechatronic engineering. They will regularly use software in their design work to create electrical schematics.
But creating 2D schematic layouts using standard CAD software can be an error-prone and time-consuming exercise. That is why experienced electrical engineers across the world are now using Eplan to develop fast, easy, and accurate designs.
Eplan software is fast becoming the standard electrical software across the world and is routinely used by large engineering companies in the automotive sector, energy industry, process industry and beyond. Students who have experience using Eplan are likely to impress future employers.
Why Introduce Eplan Education into your Curriculum?
To date, nearly 90,000 electrical engineering students in 180 countries have taken advantage of our educational package.
It can be seamlessly introduced into the curriculum in both further education and higher education establishments; from A and T Level colleges, B Tech colleges, and technical colleges, to universities.
Students will be able to:
- Create outstanding electrical schematics
- Discover world-leading software tools
- Standout from the crowd
- Impress future employers
The Eplan ECAD software is an efficient design option, allowing students to practice skills and disciples, including harness design, and use 3D construction planning to highlight any potential difficulties that could arise later during production.
Students who are familiar with Eplan Education, with its streamlined electrical engineering workflows, will be invaluable to any future employer and be able to slot-in seamlessly to teams that are already using ECAD.
What are the Teaching Benefits of using EPLAN Education?
Our package includes software licenses, detailed teaching plans and teaching materials to enable you to create a stimulating and interactive learning environment. As an instructor, you also receive a single-use licence, which allows you to prepare your lessons from the comfort of your own home.
As an instructor, you receive a free training course from our Eplan Training Academy. This is a five-day basic training course during which you will become familiar with how the system works using practice-oriented and end-to-end project design tasks. Our course materials are designed so that you can teach them within one semester. You can use our helpful handbook to prepare and deliver your lessons. Beyond this, you also receive access to free eLearning courses for self-study. These go into greater detail than the online tutorials for students. This means you are always one step ahead of your students and have exclusive material for your courses.
Eplan received the eLearning Award 2024 in the category of “Learning Transfer” for its form of adaptive learning.
The many benefits Eplan Education gives you include:
- On-boarding training, and on-going support
- Helpful teaching materials, including sample assignment
- A chance to explore software now routinely used in the workplace
- Places your department at the forefront of new software developments – making it more appealing for the following year’s applicants
- Better engagement with your students, stimulating them with new software
- Helps students to maximise their potential (and get higher grades)
- Equips students with a core skill
- Higher employability ratings for your student cohort
In Summary…
Eplan Education is a synthesis of industry expertise, best practice, and academic rigour, creating a system that means the classroom and the workplace work hand in glove to ensure a seamless throughput of graduates to professionals.
