AWR Graduate Gift Initiative Provides Graduating Engineering Students with Tools to Succeed
ECEDHA
Annual Conference and ECExpo, Clearwater Beach, Fla. – March 15, 2010 - AWR Corporation, the innovation leader in
high-frequency EDA, today announced the AWR Graduate
Gift Initiative, which will provide qualified 2010 graduates a fully-functional free license for its popular
Microwave Office® and
Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) software suites. The goal of the initiative is to give graduating engineering
students a career head start by providing hands-on exposure to AWR's high-frequency design software. The
announcement was made at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association Annual Conference
and Expo held here.
Working
with universities worldwide to empower students with RF/microwave software tool experience, AWR's
Preferred University Program was launched in direct response to expressions of interest from industry and
academia expressing the need for students to have access to these tools prior to graduation and entering industry.
“With the increasing demand for wireless-enabled devices and the decrease in microwave and RF engineering
graduates, tomorrow’s designers will need to work harder and smarter,” said Sherry Hess, vice president of
marketing at AWR. “Making our design tools available to these graduates is one of the goals of our program and is
part of our commitment to making engineering students more attractive to industry by helping them become
proficient with the actual tools of the trade.”
Availability AWR's Graduate Gift Initiative is available
to all qualified class-year 2010 graduating BS, MS, or PhD engineering students and includes the latest
full-featured versions of Microwave Office and Visual System Simulator. Two simple steps are all that’s needed to
