\nClemson has received the largest grant-in-kind in its history from\u00a0Siemens, a global technology company. Software valued at more than $357 million will be incorporated into coursework and projects related to computer-aided design, engineering simulation, industrial design, digital manufacturing and manufacturing management in the\u00a0College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences.
\nBoth undergraduate and graduate students will have access to a product lifecycle management (PLM) software used by more than 140,000 companies throughout the global manufacturing industry \u2014 including 35 in South Carolina \u2014 to design, develop and manufacture some of the world\u2019s most sophisticated products in a variety of industries.
\nThis academic partnership will help students compete for jobs throughout the world and aid in building a workforce equipped with the skills needed for the high-tech jobs of tomorrow. \u201cPreparing students to be highly competitive in the 21st\u00a0century global economy is a central part of Clemson\u2019s mission, and this new partnership with Siemens will provide our students with access to cutting-edge technical tools that can make them even more attractive to future employers \u2014 especially many of the world-class, advanced manufacturing companies operating in South Carolina,\u201d said Clemson President Jim Clements. Kevin Yates, a 1989 Clemson alumnus and head of Siemens energy management division, said, \u201cI am proud that Siemens is providing students with access to this software, positioning the University at the forefront of innovation and technology.
\nThis partnership is rooted in a shared commitment to innovation and collaboration, and will allow Clemson \u2014 and South Carolina \u2014 to build a pipeline of skilled talent for the state\u2019s growing manufacturing industry.\u201d Clemson\u2019s dedication to technology and innovation makes the University an ideal recipient for the in-kind software grant. With the University\u2019s vision to create a high-tech collaborative environment through the\u00a0Watt Family Innovation Center, Clemson shares Siemens\u2019 commitment to fostering innovation, advancing technology and developing the next-generation workforce.
