Entries to the IET Software in Design Innovation Award category are welcomed from organisations: universities, clients, consulting engineers, contractors, suppliers and component manufacturers.
The Software in Design Award will recognise and reward the innovative use of advanced software techniques within an engineering design process.
The Software in Design category welcomes innovations at any stage of development. Entries are encouraged where there has been the application of innovative software methods and tools as part of the development of an engineering product in one or more of the following or related areas:
- Modelling: Gaining insight into the product and/or its operational environment by the use of models
- Simulation: Enabling detailed design and performance analysis of the product within a software environment prior to the creation of a physical prototype.
- Data analysis: Optimising the product design through the innovative use of data capture and analysis tools.
- Automated Testing: Use of software tools to actively explore the operational characteristics of a product
Please note
This category is not for an innovative product design per se as that is covered by the Product Design Innovation Award category.
