TECH ED CONCEPTS AWARDS UNH MANCHESTER WITH
CADKEY UNLIMITED SITE LICENSE

MANCHESTER, NH, December 23, 2002 - Richard Amarosa, President of Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. (TEC), located in Pembroke, N.H., presented an Unlimited Site License of CADKEY Software (valued commercially over $100,000) to UNH Manchester Dean Karol LaCroix and Professor Ralph Draper, Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Program Chair and Mechanical Engineering Technology Program Coordinator.

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) degree program at UNH Manchester will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience using CADKEY. Employed by over 500,000 commercial users in industry worldwide, students at UNH Manchester will be learning the same commercial version of software that is used by worldwide industrial companies, and will simultaneously be developing real-world application skills that will enable them to be more prepared for career opportunities in industry after graduation.

CADKEY is a versatile Window-based Mechanical Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) software package offering a 3D hybrid modeling environment that is perfect for teaching all facets of 3D geometric construction from Solid Modeling, Surface and Wireframe to 2D drafting for engineering drawing layouts. The CADKEY software program is used worldwide for diverse applications in aerospace, automotive, consumer products, medical products, instrumentation, machine design, electronic packaging, and reverse engineering.

“TEC is pleased to provide the UNH Manchester Engineering Technology Program with one of the most favorable CAD software packages used in industry – CADKEY,” stated Richard Amarosa. “CADKEY’s Hybrid Modeling capabilities will allow UNH Manchester students to learn the practice of mechanical design in little time, and will find themselves moving into advanced levels of mechanical design in only one semester. Students using other CAD software packages tend to spend less time learning mechanical design and spend more time learning the interface of the software, or even 2D applications,” he stated.

Students in the BSET program at UNH Manchester develop an understanding of the engineering and scientific knowledge combined with technical skills to support engineering activities. The program is designed for students who have already earned their Associate degree in Engineering Technology and who want to advance their careers. The program is designed to meet the needs of both full- and part-time students with a mix of classes scheduled during the day and in the evening. A recent dual admission agreement between UNH Manchester and the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord provides NHTI graduates with a seamless transition from selected NHTI associate degree programs to baccalaureate programs in electrical, mechanical or computer technology.
