Beyond enabling agile product development processes, Onshape's cloud-native architecture is also facilitating new methodologies for academic research and innovative teaching. This session will highlight how academic researchers are using FeatureScript and Onshape’s REST API to automate workflows and enterprise analytics to understand how design teams work together. We will also share how innovative educators are using Onshape to teach more than CAD, using FeatureScript to teach coding, simulation to teach physics, and Onshape's extensibility to ramp up engagement and efficiency in their courses.
