CATIA+ANSYS – 30 Days

Summer Research and Training Programs – 2015
Codex Design services offers exciting summer research opportunities for undergraduate
students in several engineering disciplines. These research and training programs are of
1/2/4 week’s duration. Duration of the programs can be customized but that remains a
subject to the project undertaken and availability of the faculty. The undergraduate
engineering/diploma students can enrol themselves for the summer research at Codex
Design services and its zonal centres all over the country. Participants in the program
take part in seminars, lectures, practical’s, social events and hands on training on live
projects.
