Synergis Engineering Design Solutions Delivers Classroom Lab of Autodesk Software to Bucks County Community College on Behalf of GlaxoSmithKline
Synergis ® Engineering Design Solutions (EDS), a division of Synergis Technologies, Inc., announced that as part of the company's ongoing commitment to its educational and commercial customers and in support of their role in building the next generation of designers, it awarded Bucks County Community College a 25-seat classroom lab of AutoCAD® MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) 2008 software, worth approximately $25,000. The lab was made possible by a generous grant from GlaxoSmithKline and Autodesk, Inc. through the Autodesk Invest in Education Program and will support the growth and training of the region's future engineers and designers.
The Autodesk Invest in Education program gives commercial companies that purchase new seats of the most current version of qualifying Autodesk software or collaboration services, the right to grant a classroom lab of Autodesk software or collaboration services to the educational institution of their choice. In this case, GlaxoSmithKline chose the Bucks County Community College, a local, two-year community college.
"I am thankful Autodesk has created this program giving us this opportunity to give back to the community and to Bucks County Community College, with the latest, state-of-the-art technology," said Joe Tyska, facilities project manager, GlaxoSmithKline. "This program will strengthen the region's talent pool which will ultimately provide future employees for GlaxoSmithKline."
"It was our pleasure to facilitate GlaxoSmithKline's generous donation back to the community, through the Autodesk Invest in Education granting program," said Jennifer Zavacky, director of Sales & Marketing of the Manufacturing Solutions group at Synergis Technologies. "The award helps Bucks County Community College take one step forward toward building the region's next generation of engineers and designers."
