Bentley Announces Academic Grants of $5 Million in Haestad Methods Software.EXTON, Pa. -- Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated, today announced that it will grant Haestad Methods software valued at $5 million to colleges and universities with degree programs in civil and environmental engineering. The Haestad Methods water resources product line provides for design, analysis, and management of water distribution supply, municipal sanitary sewers A sanitary sewer (also called, especially in the UK, a foul sewer) is a type of underground carriage system for transporting sewage from houses or industry to treatment or disposal. , urban stormwater collection, roadway and civil site drainage, and flood control. Thousands of schools worldwide use Haestad Methods software in their engineering courses, as well as the authoritative Haestad Methods textbook, "Computer Applications in Hydraulic Engineering." "We're very pleased that our faculty and students will now be able to explore the leading hydraulics hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids. The term is applied commonly to the study of the mechanical properties of water, other liquids, and even gases when the effects of compressibility are small. and hydrology hydrology, study of water and its properties, including its distribution and movement in and through the land areas of the earth. The hydrologic cycle consists of the passage of water from the oceans into the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration (or software," said Dr. Randy Dymond of Virginia Tech's civil and environmental engineering department. The department recently received a grant for Haestad Methods software. "Experience with this state-of-the-art software will help teach students how to apply engineering principles in the real world, as well as make them more marketable at graduation," Dymond said.
