Re: Another Step Towards STEM
CATIA is a powerful, high-end CAD system with advanced free-form capabilities. It's also VERY expensive--upwards of $100K for a full license, though I would imagine some of the additional advanced packages would not be in an educational license (who knows), nor would it cost schools what companies pay for a seat. It's used by many high-tech companies, including several automotive manufacturers and just about all of the aeronautical industry. Due to it's complexity, CATIA designers are in HIGH demand, commanding high-end salaries as well. Congrats to your school on getting such a great opportunity.
