USBE&IT Recognizes UGS for Supporting Engineering Schools
 PLANO,
Texas, May 7, 2007 - UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product
lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced the
company is ranked among Fortune 500 corporations and United States (U.S.)
government agencies in its support of historically black engineering schools
in the U.S., according to a recent independent survey of the deans of those
schools. This is the fifth consecutive year that UGS has been recognized by
U.S. Black Engineer & Information Technology (USBE&IT) Magazine as a top
supporter of historically black engineering schools in the U.S.
Career Communications Group, publisher of U.S. Black Engineer &
Information Technology (USBE&IT) magazine, conducted the survey last month
asking the deans of ABET accredited HBCU engineering programs to list the 10
companies they feel contribute most to their schools’ institutional
missions. The corporate-academic alliance Advancing Minorities’ Interest in
Engineering (AMIE) was also asked what companies provide the most support to
black engineering schools. In all, 53 private-sector companies and 66
government and nonprofit organizations were named as Top Supporters.
“This survey reflects the perception that the deans and AMIE share about
the level of support they receive from corporate America, which is that more
and more corporations are consistently doing their share in building the
pipeline,” said Tyrone D. Taborn, editor in chief of USBE&IT and chairman
and CEO of the magazine’s publisher, Career Communications Group Inc. (CCG).
“Black students and professionals want to know more about what these
companies are doing for their colleges. People want to work for a company
that is committed to their community.”
GO PLM Program UGS’ GO PLM™ initiative leads the industry in the
commercial value of the in-kind grants it provides and brings together four
complementary community involvement programs focused on academic
partnership, regional productivity, youth and displaced worker development
and the PACE (Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering
Education) program. GO PLM provides PLM technology to more than 910,000
students yearly at nearly 9,000 global institutions, where it is used at
every academic level – from middle schools to graduate engineering research
programs. For more information on GO PLM and the partners and programs it
supports visit http://www.ugs.com/partners/goplm/.
“UGS strives to develop and nurture partnerships that provide significant
value for academic institutions, youth/displaced workers development
programs, Regional Productivity Partnerships, Partners for the Advancement
of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE) and our global communities,”
said Hulas King, director of UGS Global Community Relations and GO PLM
programs. UGS works closely with AMIE to improve the technical stature of
HBCUs and their ability to develop top-notch engineers and technologists.
The company has provided in-kind software grants with a list price of more
than $609 million to HBCU engineering schools, empowering these students
with the same PLM tools used by leading manufacturers and technology
companies to aggressively compete on the basis of time-to-market, product
cost, quality and innovation.
