Alibre Launches Graduation Gift Program for Graduating Engineers; Program Offers Free Commercial License of Alibre Design Basic to New Engineers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2004 Alibre Inc. today announced its new Graduation Gift program through which graduating engineers can obtain a full commercial license of Alibre Design Alibre Design is a parametric feature-based three-dimensional Solid modeling CAD software created by Alibre, Inc. Overview Alibre Design is a mechanical engineering and design CAD tool capable of creating complex 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings. Basic at no charge. This unique educational program differs from others in the industry in that the software license runs indefinitely in·def·i·nite adj. Not definite, especially: a. Unclear; vague. b. Lacking precise limits: an indefinite leave of absence. c. and is not limited to educational use. Under this program, recent graduates enter the workforce with their own professional 3D solid modeling application. Employers benefit because these new employees come already trained to use a modern 3D parametric CAD system, and they save money on CAD software since the new hire can use Alibre Design Basic on the job. "This is a super offer for new engineers making their way into industry," said Richard Devon, associate professor of engineering design and director of the engineering design program at Penn State. "We have been using Alibre Design for over a year as a key application in our core engineering design curricula both in the first year design course and for cross-national design projects where its peer-to-peer tools are invaluable. Penn State students have access to many different CAD applications, and we have found none easier than Alibre Design to learn and use." Devon continues, "I can see that engineers who are self-employed or work in small companies will be particularly grateful. I think Alibre is breaking new ground with this move." "Alibre has had a lot of success in the educational market with thousands of active users and we wanted to say thanks," said Greg Milliken, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Alibre. "While this is an incredibly aggressive program, it is also a great investment in the future. As new engineers move into the workforce they will expose their new companies to Alibre Design, the easiest to use and most affordable professional 3D CAD system on the market." The program is only available to engineering students graduating from an accredited accredited recognition by an appropriate authority that the performance of a particular institution has satisfied a prestated set of criteria. accredited herds cattle herds which have achieved a low level of reactors to, e.g. institution in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. in Spring 2004 and after.
