Introducing Granta
At Granta Design we are the materials information technology experts, providing the world's leading teaching resource for materials and process education, CES EduPack, and working with leading engineering enterprises to help them manage materials data and make materials-related decisions. Granta began as a spin-out from Cambridge University Engineering Department.
CES EduPack supports and enhances teaching across a broad range of engineering disciplines and from first-year to post-graduate courses. EduPack is developed by the Granta team in collaboration with the worldwide community of EduPack users and with Granta founder, Professor Mike Ashby of the University of Cambridge.
The information below provides more background on CES EduPack.
How CES EduPack has changedCES EduPack has developed dramatically in recent years. Once best-known for specialist materials selection tools, its nature and applications have expanded as Granta Design and Professor Mike Ashby added new resources and software features in response to user feedback. Today, an increasing number of universities use EduPack across multiple courses, even as a campus-wide resource. EduPack is used from first-year to masters level and in support of a wide range of different teaching approaches. |

Varied teaching approachesCES EduPack is now used as a resource kit to support a wide variety of approaches to the teaching of materials. For example, it can help with both a design-led and a science-led approach to materials and processes. It aids classroom teaching, project- and problem-based learning, and self-teaching. Read more about such approaches and how EduPack helps. |

Reviews and examplesCES EduPack is now used at over 800 univesities and colleges worldwide. Here, you can find out how some of these users are applying CES EduPack, and what they think of it. You can also link to recordings of seminars, case study demonstrations, and presentations that provide further examples of the use of CES EduPack. |

Feature—Eco DesignHow do you integrate teaching of eco design into existing courses? How can you help students to develop a rational, quantitative, and practical approach to the subject? Sustainability and eco design are topics of increasing interest and importance. Many universities are seeking to improve teaching of these topics. CES EduPack can help. |
