As well as industry professionals, LOCTITE is making the module/platform available to students through partnerships with several prominent universities. As such, the new module is empowering the next generation of engineering professionals, providing deep insights into the world of adhesive bonding.
Offering support to universities, including Glasgow Caledonian, Newcastle, Oxford Brookes, Southampton, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Strathclyde, Leicester, and the University of West England, the company is committed to building on its success of the initial launch of LOCTITE XPLORE by broadening its offerings to those in education.
Currently available to over 5,000 students at over 20 universities, LOCTITE XPLORE aims to provide free certified learning to any student and is accessible to students all over the world through their mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer.
Fundamentals of Bonding offers an in-depth exploration across seven chapters, tailored to meet the needs of both novices and experts in the field. From the basics of adhesive chemistry to advanced application techniques, each chapter is designed to build a solid foundation of knowledge and practical skills.
In addition to the educational content, the module features a Technology Selector tool. This interactive element guides users to the most suitable LOCTITE products for their specific needs. Should users not find a perfect match, the platform encourages them to reach out to LOCTITE experts for personalised consultations.
Highlighting LOCTITE’s commitment to education, the module introduces a student-teacher functionality, specifically designed to support Formula Student teams. Educators can share a code with their students, enabling them to track and guide their progress through the course.
Paul Marshall, Head of Marketing at Henkel UK, Ireland & Nordics, expressed his enthusiasm: "With the launch of Fundamentals of Bonding, we are taking a significant leap in sharing our deep-rooted knowledge and expertise with students. This module not only offers practical insights but also fosters an interactive and supportive learning community between student and educator. We're excited to see the positive impact this will have on professionals and students alike."
