MUMBAI, India, Oct 30 - Tekla India, the Indian arm of Tekla Corporation; announced that Maharashtra Institute of Technology, a renowned educational institute based in Maharashtra will include Tekla’s suite of 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, Tekla Structures as part of its academic curriculum for engineering students. The college will train civil and structural engineering students at its Civil Engineering Department. With the implementation of Tekla Structures in academics, students will be able to visualize and simulate real-life construction project workflows and receive hands on training and rich experience. 
MIT Pune, Maharashtra based institution joins the group of over 200 universities globally
"Our engineering students will receive tremendous industry-like exposure and learn cutting-edge 3D BIM techniques using Tekla Structures software. They will get insights into what an engineer would typically receive after spending nearly 8-10 years in the industry, We want to train and equip our students with the technology and tools that are used by experts in the industry so that the school-to-work transition is seamless and at an accelerated pace. The purpose of educating young engineers and designers to the use of advanced 3D modelling tools such as Tekla Structures will assist them to better understand the constructability of building systems both at a macro and micro level. We are confident that by adopting Tekla Structures, our graduate students will find a wider acceptance in the industry” said Dr. Sunil Pimplikar, Head of Civil engineering Department, Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) Pune.
"We are delighted that Indian educational institutes such as MIT are taking the lead in pioneering education on advanced building construction technologies in India and matching international standards. This will help in producing highly skilled and trained engineers who can rapidly adapt to real-life scenarios and be more productive at their workplaces”, said Nirmalya Chatterjee, COO & Director, Tekla India.
Currently over 200 universities globally have adopted Tekla Structures in their curriculum, like Georgia Institute of Technology’s US School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Jönköping University, Sweden, University of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland. Maharashtra Institute of Technology will now join this group of prestigious institutions, who have adopted Tekla BIM Technology.
About Tekla
With its software, Tekla Corporation drives the evolution of digital information models and provides thus more and more competitive advantage to the construction, infrastructure and energy industries. The company was established already in 1966, and today it has customers in 100 countries, offices in 15 countries and a global partner network.
With an ambition to multiply its customers' potential to think and achieve big, Tekla provides an accurate, detailed, and data-rich 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) software environment that can be shared by contractors, structural engineers, steel detailers and fabricators, as well as concrete detailers and manufacturers.
The highly detailed as-built structural models created, combined and distributed with Tekla BIM software enable the highest level of constructability and production control. Centralizing building information into the model allows for more collaborative and integrated project management and delivery. This translates into increased productivity and elimination of waste, thus making construction and buildings more sustainable. For more information, visit http://www.tekla.com/in
