West Virginia University's Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources Department has been awarded a Siemens PLM Software's in-kind software grant of more than $425 million, according to a news release from WVU.
The in-kind grant was provided by Siemens PLM Software's Global Opportunities on PLM, a program that delivers PLM technology to more than one million students yearly, where it's used at all academic levels, according to the news release.
The grant will give WVU students the chance to use the same product lifecycle management software in the classroom that is used by leading companies around the world, officials said.
The software will be integrated in two Statler College departments: the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
"This type of advanced technology is very important to helping us prepare our students for their careers," said Gene Cilento, Glen H. Hiner Dean of the Statler College, WVU. "We are very pleased to partner with Siemens PLM Software to provide our students with access to these state-of-the-art tools and prepare them to be our country's engineers of tomorrow."
