Autodesk Offers AutoCAD 2010 software to student members
For the first time, Autodesk is making AutoCAD 2010 software, its flagship product for 2D and 3D design and documentation, available free to members of its student engineering and design community.
Joe Astroth, Autodesk vice president of learning and education, explains that Autodesk's Student Community is an online resource that offers numerous benefits to students and educators – including free design software, self-paced training, social networking and job listings.
"We created the Student Community three years ago to help architecture, engineering and digital entertainment students gain the educational resources and technical expertise they need to be successful in their future careers," he says.
"The demand for AutoCAD skills spans many industries. By expanding our offerings to include AutoCAD 2010, students now have easy access to software and resources to help them build those vital skills needed in today's competitive marketplace."
