NX Student Day 2024

Hugh is a part-time course instructor at Seneca Polytechnic in the EMA program. For the past 5 years, he has been introducing students to various NX applications from part and assembly, drafting, motion, Mechatronics Concept Designer, Line Designer and CAM. He also teaches in the space engineering program in the Lassonde School of Engineering, York University. There, he teaches NX with various CAE applications (Pre-Post, NX NASTRAN and Space Systems Thermal). In his presentation, he will discuss his work bringing the VR capabilities of NX to the Electromechanical Automation (EMA) program curriculum at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada. Students and faculty alike have found the visualization in Immersive Explorer engaging. It is interesting to become familiar with a technology like VR and seeing how it will aid on-the-job design and simulations of the future.
