Scott S. Harris ’82 As vice president of product definition and user experience for the venture-funded start-up OnShape Inc., Scott Harris and his team are creating a new type of CAD system. As co-founder of SolidWorks Corporation and vice president of the New Product Concepts Group, he led the team that developed products and prototypes that pushed the boundaries of user-interface, surface representations, and modeling metaphors. Prior to that, he led product definition and geometry development teams for 10 years at Computervision, an early pioneer in the CAD industry. Beginning his career at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, designing analyzing and testing jet engine components, he developed innovative new computer techniques to define and evaluate aerodynamic surfaces for jet engine nacelles. He was a 2012 recipient of WPI’s Robert H. Goddard Alumni Award for Outstanding Professional Achievement.
