Siemens Announces $46M Grant to Shanghai Dianji University
PLANO,
TX, MAY 15, 2008 - Siemens PLM Software, a division of the Siemens industry
automation division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle
management (PLM) software and services, today announced an in-kind software
grant with a commercial value of US$46 million to Shanghai Dianji University
(SDJU) to enrich their engineering curriculum and open a new training center
for China and beyond. The in-kind investment was made through the company’s
GO PLM Program and includes engineering software, student/instructor
training and an NX certification program.
Siemens PLM Software’s NX digital product development software supports
product design, through engineering and ultimately manufacturing. NX helps
customers cut costs, while improving product quality and profitability.
“SDJU is tremendously thankful for this overwhelming in-kind grant and to
open the SDJU/Siemens PLM Software NX Training Center,” said Dr. Jian Guo
Xia, president of SDJU. “On behalf of SDJU, I want to express sincere
appreciation to Siemens PLM Software for providing this industry leading
software for our academic institution. Innovative development combined with
extensive industry experience incorporated over several decades has made NX
a comprehensive product development tool. It is not only strong in advanced
design capabilities, but also provides students with experience in the
latest manufacturing technology and theory.
“Our teaching and scientific research work will benefit significantly
from using Siemens PLM Software in our courses, where students and
researchers will be able to develop real-world products and gain the latest
knowledge of PLM processes. We expect graduating students who pass the NX
Certification Examination will have numerous job opportunities in the rapid
growing Chinese Manufacturing Industries.”
“Today’s leading manufacturing and technology companies compete on the
basis of time to market, product cost, quality and innovation,” said Chuck
Yuan, senior vice president and general manager, Greater China, Siemens PLM
Software. “It’s quite clear that today’s best students in top programs, like
the program at SDJU, must have the opportunity to gain experience with
technology that supports these objectives.”
GO PLM Program
Siemens PLM Software’s 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 950,000
students yearly at nearly 9,300 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

About Shanghai DianJi University
Shanghai DianJi University was founded in 1953. By holding to the spirit
of “progressing with undiminished vigor and forever pursuing excellence,” it
became one of the key schools in the 1950’s and 1960’s under the direct
administration of the Number One Ministry of Mechanical Industry. The
creation of “Cai Detai Teaching Method”, which was popular all over China,
helped the school gain precious educational experiences. Liu Shaoqi, former
leader of PRC, inspected the school in 1958 and commended its achievement.
He confirmed the school’s educational mode and summarized it as “integrating
school with factory and focusing on both teaching and production” The school
was one of the first three schools nationwide with the privilege to start
experimenting 5-year higher vocation education approved by the former
National Education Committee. “With approval of the municipal government of
Shanghai, the school was upgraded in September of 2004 to a university with
full undergraduate programs.
