Singapore Institute of Technical Education incorporates AVEVA Marine Solutions

AVEVA will provide the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Singapore, with the latest AVEVA Marine solutions for use in its Higher National ITE Certificate (Higher Nitec) engineering courses. This will be the second AVEVA solution to be incorporated into ITE's curriculum: AVEVA PDMS has been incorporated into the curriculum since 2000.

ITE students will be offered hands-on experience using AVEVA Marine solutions. In their 4th semester, they will get the opportunity to put their skills into practice during a 3-month industrial placement at shipyards using AVEVA Marine solutions.

This initiative is part of a broader AVEVA programme to address the global skills shortage within the engineering industry; and reinforces AVEVA's commitment to training graduates to deliver higher value to employers from day one.

Linda Wong, Section Head for Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Design at the School of Engineering, ITE College Central said:

"As a majority of the world's top 50 shipbuilders run AVEVA Marine solutions, our graduates will be readily employable by shipyards and other supporting companies that provide services for the repair, fabrication, and refurbishment of all types of vessels and offshore structures in the marine and offshore industries."

Ms Wong continues:

"Graduates will also have plenty of academic progression opportunities and may apply for polytechnic courses. They will have an upper hand when applying, as AVEVA Marine solutions are also used in polytechnics."

Peter Finch, President, AVEVA Asia Pacific, said:

"Design technology has become an integral part of shipbuilding, from creation of hulls and outfitting using digital tools to global project collaboration through the internet. AVEVA is committed to developing the next generation to help meet growing worldwide demand for manpower in the marine and offshore industries."
