AVEVA announced today that the AVEVA Marine and AVEVA Bocad software licences will be deployed in Korean Universities and schools to encourage the ongoing development of the local narine industry.

Students will be introduced to the ship design process through hands-on experience with essential engineering and design disciplines.

“We welcome AVEVA’s support to bring critical job skills to our students,” said Professor TaeWan Kim, Seoul National University. “By working closely and training the professors and teachers on the software, AVEVA is enabling the university to give the students the best experience of industry-leading design software. AVEVA is truly inspiring the next generation of Korean ship designers.”

Students will be able to use the software in classes including Computer Aided Ship Design, Ship Detailed Design & Modeling and Fabrication Technologies based on Ship Structures. There are over 20 academic institutions involved in this initiative including Seoul National University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Pohang University of Science and Technology, and Pusan National University.
