The Bentley Education portal provides a single source for an
on-demand, frictionless, and fun experience for students as they
build and enhance their digital design skills. Students and
educators have access to comprehensive resources, including:
- insights from leading AEC professionals, sharing what the
industry has to offer students and what skills are in high
demand;
- the latest news and emerging trends in architecture,
engineering, and construction; and
- firsthand perspective of current engineering students, mentors,
and women in infrastructure engineering.
The program offers full access to learning licenses of over 40
of Bentley’s most popular applications used by infrastructure
professionals around the globe, including ContextCapture,
MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer, STAAD.Pro, and SYNCHRO. The
portal can be accessed via https://education.bentley.com.
The Bentley Education program is open to students and educators
at community colleges, technical institutes, polytechnics,
universities, secondary schools, and homeschooled students. The
program is designed to create world-class talent that can rise to
the challenge of improving quality of life and positively changing
the world using Bentley infrastructure engineering software,
applications, and proven learnings. The Bentley Education program
will also help students develop digital skills, which are critical
for a qualified talent pipeline to support infrastructure growth
and resilience worldwide.
The Bentley Education program uses a role-based learning
approach, allowing future infrastructure professionals to focus on
specific capabilities needed for specific professions. Students can
go beyond mere product proficiency and develop a comprehensive
understanding of skillsets required to excel in various roles in
infrastructure engineering.
“With many nations and institutions committing to infrastructure
and digital education initiatives as top priorities for a
post-pandemic world, we are excited to launch this much-requested
and responsive program now,” said Katriona Lord-Levins, chief
success officer, Bentley Systems. “We want to inspire and encourage
students to learn about infrastructure engineering as a possible
career path, and to introduce these young minds to the vast
opportunities that lie ahead, with infrastructure going
digital.”
The Bentley Education portal also serves as a gateway for
individual students or teams of two to submit their innovative
concepts for Bentley’s Future Infrastructure Star Challenge 2021.
The global competition is open to students from community colleges,
polytechnics institutes, and universities. Students advancing in
the Challenge, based on their ideas that improve quality of life,
will work on modeling, simulation, and visualization to develop a
design model. The winner of the Future Infrastructure Star
Challenge will be announced during the Going Digital Awards at the
Year in Infrastructure 2021 Conference.
The inaugural Future Infrastructure Star Challenge is divided
into Stage 1 (Conceptualization), and Stage 2 (Design and
Visualization). In Stage 1 (Conceptualization), students are
invited to submit their ideas for “a next big infrastructure
project” in any of the following categories: road and rail,
building and facilities, water and wastewater, cities and mapping,
and power generation. While conceptualizing their idea, students
should focus on an environmental challenge that affects or is
affected by infrastructure development, consider applying the
Internet of Things, and emphasize the project’s contribution to the
world’s health and welfare.
The top 20 judged projects from Stage 1 (Conceptualization) will
each win USD 500, with the top 10 projects moving on to Stage 2
(Design and Visualization). Here, each such entry may take
advantage of opportunities to work with infrastructure
professionals, and/or to attend masterclasses with Bentley experts,
to bring their ideas to life using Bentley applications. In
addition to being announced and introduced at the Year in
Infrastructure 2021 Conference, the winner of the Future
Infrastructure Star Challenge 2010 will receive a cash prize of USD
5,000 and recognition in Bentley’s 2021 Infrastructure
Yearbook.
Vinayak Trivedi, vice president of Bentley Education, said, “We
want to make the Bentley Education portal the place where students
can go to learn about and become inspired to make infrastructure
engineering their career choice. The goal of the program is to help
students who are passionate about infrastructure to get a
jump-start on a fulfilling career. The Future Infrastructure Star
Challenge 2021 provides an opportunity for them to be creative and
innovative in project designs for improving the quality of life and
positively changing the world.”
