EDGE’s Learning and Innovation Factory (LIF) has partnered with QuantaSim to launch an Engineering Bootcamp Programme. This initiative aims to equip early-career engineers with hands-on experience, technical knowledge, and problem-solving skills. By combining practical training with cutting-edge technology, the program will play a key role in advancing regional engineering capabilities.
LIF: Practical Training for Future Engineers
The nine-month bootcamp takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering mechanical, electrical, aerodynamics, and control systems. Participants will work with advanced tools such as Engineering Simulation to develop prototypes and solve real-world industry challenges. As a result, they will gain essential skills that prepare them for careers in aerospace and defense.
Moreover, the program emphasizes teamwork and innovation. Engineers will collaborate on projects designed to mirror industry demands, ensuring they are ready for dynamic work environments. Additionally, this initiative bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, helping participants build a strong foundation for future roles.
Ignacio Gatell, Vice President of EDGE LIF, highlighted the program’s importance:
“At LIF, we focus on operational excellence and capability development across EDGE’s entities. This partnership with QuantaSim allows us to provide top-tier training, helping our engineers enhance their expertise.”
Strengthening the Aerospace and Defense Workforce
This collaboration aligns with the UAE’s vision for technological advancement. By fostering expertise in artificial intelligence, digital thread, and product lifecycle management, the program strengthens the local engineering workforce.
Abbass Karim, CEO of QuantaSim, emphasized the initiative’s impact:
“This bootcamp helps develop the region’s engineering talent. By equipping local professionals with the right tools and hands-on experience, we contribute to industry growth and digital transformation.”
By integrating technology with structured learning, this initiative will play a crucial role in developing regional expertise. The partnership reaffirms EDGE LIF’s commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in the UAE’s defense and industrial sectors.
