Feedback from participants has been extremely positive. We thank those who attended and look forward to welcoming anyone from the EduPack community to similar events in future.
In each Bulletin we highlight particular EduPack teaching resources and provide free access for a limited period. With this edition you can download:
Here are this edition's tips to help you make more of your CES EduPack software:
CES EduPack short courses with Professor Mike Ashby are designed for Professors, Lecturers, and Program Directors of university and college courses related to materials and manufacturing.

Many CES EduPack users have developed resources (lectures, custom databases, video clips, etc.) with and in support of EduPack. The potential value of sharing these resources was discussed at the CES EduPack Symposium and attendees expressed interest in a mechanism to facilitate sharing. In response, we've enhanced the resource sharing area on the CES EduPack Teaching Resources site. The new "EduPack community resource sharing" page on this site offers guides and demos to aid use of EduPack, lecture slides, and a series of custom databases. These databases offer both materials information and some fun alternative uses for EduPack! The Teaching Resources site is open to any educator with a valid CES EduPack license. All that you need is a user name and password. If you qualify and do not have this login information, contact Granta. Access the Teaching Resources site » Contact Granta if you have resources that you would like to share. |
