All students and faculty with a valid .edu e-mail address are eligible to download an education version of AutoCAD. This includes Civil3D, as well as numerous other CAD tools, including Inventor Professional, Inventor CAM, Revit, Tinkercad, and Maya. Students and staff members need only create an Autodesk account linked with their valpo.edu e-mail address to gain access to these software packages. Limitations include: academic use only; no for-profit work is to be done using this software; all drawings that are printed will feature an Autodesk watermark.
Mechanical Engineering students become familiar with SolidWorks, a computer aided design tool used widely in industry and education. A student version of the software is available for a cost from Dassault Systèmes, the maker of SolidWorks. Students must complete an eligibility form before they can purchase and download the software. The student edition is a yearly subscription which must be renewed.
Valparaiso University has relationships with several vendors which allow students, faculty, and staff to download software at a reduced cost. These software titles can be accessed by logging in to the Kivuto Solutions “On-the-hub” e-store using a Valpo username and password.
