Press Release Body: September 3, 2008, Toronto, ON - The University of Manitoba and
ENGINEERING.com, the North American reseller of CATIA educational software, are
pleased to announce the unveiling of the new state of the art \"Wardrop CAD
Technology Centre\" at The University of Manitoba.

The new laboratory, the only one of its kind in Canada, will feature an advanced
computer-based product development program in the new Engineering and Information
Technology Complex. It will also serve as a manufacturing facility providing
comprehensive education to students, as well as skills upgrading and industry
training. The complex features a 40-seat computer lab alongside a mini-simulated
manufacturing lab, complete with a rapid prototyping machine, mini-numerical
controlled machine tools and a small virtual reality system.

\"We are the only engineering school making this technology available to
undergraduate students,\" says Dr. Doug Ruth, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at
the U of M. \"Our students will leave here confident in their knowledge of Technical
Drawing, 3D Modelling, Rapid Prototyping, and Visual Communication including Green
Screen Technology.\"\"

Ron Britton, Assistant Dean of Engineering at the University of Manitoba is excited
about the future prospects the new CAD centre brings to both students and the
university. \"With the addition of this tech centre, the University of Manitoba can
produce \'Design Ready Engineers\' prepared for the challenges of industry, while
positioning the University as one of the most advanced educational design centers in
Canada.\"

The Technology Centre features CATIA V5 from Dassault Systemes as its premier CAD
system. CATIA V5, part of Dassault Systemes Product Lifecycle Management line of
products, enables users to perform a wide variety of engineering design activities
such as 3D modeling, linear analysis, manufacturing simulation, HVAC design,
visualization and simulation. Dassault Systems products are dominant in the
automotive and aerospace industries. Notably, three quarters of the introductory and
concept vehicles at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in
Detroit and 90% of the commercial aircraft in the air today were designed using
CATIA.
