In a significant step towards empowering future engineers with industry-ready skills, the School of Engineering

& Sciences at MIT Art, Design & Technology University has recently signed a prestigious Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) with Bentley Systems a global leader in infrastructure engineering software. This

collaboration marks a transformative milestone for Civil Engineering education, opening new avenues for

innovation, learning, and career readiness.

As part of this partnership, the Civil Engineering Department has established a dedicated Centre of Excellence

(CoE) in collaboration with Bentley Systems. This Centre is designed to bridge the gap between academic

learning and real-world industry practices, providing students with direct access to cutting-edge tools and

technologies used globally in infrastructure development.

One of the most remarkable highlights of this initiative is the provision of 250+ Bentley software licenses for

educational use completely free for students. These industry-grade tools are widely used in the design, analysis,

and management of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, railways, water systems, and smart cities. By

gaining hands-on experience with these advanced platforms, students will develop practical skills that are highly

valued by employers across the globe.

This Centre of Excellence will serve as a hub for innovation and applied learning. Students pursuing B.Tech and

M.Tech in Civil Engineering will have the opportunity to work on real-world projects, simulations, and digital

models using Bentley’s powerful software ecosystem. From Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital

twins to smart infrastructure planning, the exposure provided will be at par with global engineering standards.

The collaboration also aims to enhance research capabilities and foster a culture of technological excellence.

Faculty members and students will engage in workshops, certification programs, and expert sessions conducted

by industry professionals. This ensures that learning is not limited to textbooks but extends to practical,

application-oriented knowledge.

In today’s rapidly evolving infrastructure landscape, proficiency in advanced engineering software is no longer

optional it is essential. Employers seek graduates who are not only strong in fundamentals but also skilled in

modern tools and technologies. Through this MoU, MIT ADT University ensures that its Civil Engineering

students are equipped with both.

Moreover, the integration of Bentley Systems’ software aligns perfectly with emerging trends such as smart cities,

sustainable infrastructure, and digital construction practices. Students will be trained to think beyond conventional

methods and adopt innovative approaches to solve complex engineering challenges.

This initiative reinforces MIT ADT University’s commitment to providing industry-aligned education and

preparing students for the future of Civil Engineering. It is not just about earning a degree it is about gaining the

skills, exposure, and confidence needed to excel in a competitive global environment.

For aspiring engineers, this is a unique opportunity to be part of a program that blends academic excellence with

real-world expertise. The Centre of Excellence stands as a testament to the university’s vision of nurturing

engineers who will lead the transformation of infrastructure in India and beyond.
