Software solutions for Students and Universities
Engineering tools to future-proof your career
Cadlog supports Students and Universities through the Higher Education Program (HEP). HEP is Siemens’ program aimed at empowering the next generation of digitally talented engineers.
Higher Education Program (HEP)
Higher Education Program (HEP) provides universities, colleges, and schools with leading-edge design tools for classroom instruction and academic research to help ensure that engineering graduates enter into the industry proficient with state-of-the-art tools and techniques. Through HEP, we and Siemens strive to develop long-term relationships with engineering schools and universities in all countries in our market. To date, Siemens has partnered with more than 1,600 academic institutions worldwide.

HEP benefits
Siemens’s Higher Education Program supports engineering education by providing design and simulation software, technical support, training, and resources for use in teaching, class work, and academic research during school and post-graduation. HEP members have access to:
- As many copies of the software as needed
- The same customer support services as corporate customers
- Siemens-advertised public training classes on a space-available basis and on-demand training (for nominated faculty staff members)
- Online product demonstrations and tutorials
Under Siemens’ Higher Education Program (HEP), products are organized in design packages from which program members will choose based on their needs. Upon admittance to the program, members will receive licenses for all products in the package(s) that they desire.
