LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A Lincoln software company has donated $5.4 million in software to Lincoln Public Schools. Design Data is giving 168 software licenses, which retail for $30,000 each, to the district. They will be used in the industrial technology labs of the city's six high schools to help educate future structural designers and engineers. Carol Andringa with the school district says a computer-aided design teacher at Lincoln East High School used the software last year. The district then designed curriculum with the help of Design Data, and all six high schools started using the software this fall. The software serves steel fabricators, structural engineers and erectors, displaying 2-D and 3-D images, specs and characters of the steel frame.
