The ANSYS Institute for Industrial Innovation (AI3) will serve as a portal for businesses seeking to partner with the College of Engineering and Applied Science on specific engineering projects. Just as important, AI3 will provide students with state-of-the-art engineering simulation software tools, enabling hands-on experience along with the opportunity to develop design solutions for industry-sponsored projects.

“ANSYS support at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee will enable students to get first-hand experience working with the comprehensive product portfolio from ANSYS—the most complete engineering simulation technology available in the world. This not only benefits students and researchers by providing them with an excellent toolset, but also promotes the expansion of ANSYS technology usage once students enter the workforce,” said Paul Lethbridge, academic product strategy and planning manager at ANSYS, Inc.

The institute is also charged with increasing the college’s research links with business and industry as well as fostering economic growth and development in southeastern Wisconsin through tech transfer and industry assistance.
