Transcend, a SaaS provider of generative design tools for critical infrastructure, today announces an international project training engineering students across five universities in Brazil to use its Transcend Design Generator (TDG) software platform to design wastewater infrastructure for at-risk communities. Transcend partnered with Brazilian nonprofit LuTeS Urbanas, engineering firm Taboa Engenharia, and universities like the State University of Maringá in Paraná as part of a new replicable project model funded and supported by nonprofit investor Elemental Excelerator

Through this collaboration, students at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, University of São Paulo and other educational institutions have mastered the TDG, an intuitive, online generative design platform that enables capital planners, project developers, and engineering professionals to rapidly generate preliminary engineering designs for critical infrastructure. The designs created by the 50 students trained so far through the program would impact up to 200,000 Brazilians if implemented. These students join a growing cohort of engineers around the world who already using the platform, including engineers at leading firms such as BRK Ambiental, Arcadis and Xylem

"Students are hungry to experience real-world applications for their engineering education, particularly when those experiences have a real positive impact on the resilience of their communities," said Transcend Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer Adam Tank. "We saw the of need for improved wastewater infrastructure design tools in Brazil, and an opportunity to train a future generation of engineers to use those tools to improve their communities after graduation."
