ASU Engineering Continues to Instruct CADKEY after
11 Years of Success

Pembroke, NH, September 27, 2002 -After 11 years of employing CADKEY®, industry's leading 3D Mechanical CAD software, Arkansas State University (ASU) continues to instruct the latest release of the software (CADKEY Workshop™) to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program.

Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. (TEC, Inc.), the exclusive North American Academic Distributor of CADKEY and other 3D engineering and manufacturing software and curricular programs for educators and students, supplied ASU with CADKEY Workshop. ASU Instructor in Technology, Rev. Dr. Charles Coleman, recently upgraded to CADKEY Workshop specifically because of its core architecture of Pure Geometry™, its complete set of mechanical detailing functions along with a complete set of design tools for blending solid, surface and wireframe modeling with traditional drawing methods. He stated, "I have been teaching at ASU for eleven years, and of those eleven years, CADKEY has proven to be the most intuitive CAD software on the market." Students who study Mechanical, Industrial, Civil and Agricultural Engineering use CADKEY as a core component in CAD I, CAD II and Engineering Graphics courses at ASU.

Richard Amarosa, President of TEC, Inc. stated, "We are pleased that Arkansas State University continues to implement CADKEY as an integral component in the engineering program. CADKEY's ease-of-use and powerful hybrid modeling capabilities have far surpassed other CAD programs in the market today. We will continue to supply our customers with what we believe is the most appropriate CAD tool for the classroom."

Student/faculty seats, classroom seat pricing and lab pack discounts for CADKEY Workshop (full commercial version) are available for as low as $189. Contact TEC, Inc. for more information at (800) 338-2238, e-mail info@TECedu.com or visit TEC on the Web at www.TECedu.com.
