Wayne State University Gets $408M in Kind from PACE
 PLANO,
Texas, Sep 20, 2007 - Engineering graduates at Wayne State University will
be better prepared for careers in Michigan’s emerging high tech and global
economy thanks to Wayne State’s selection as a member of Partners for the
Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE), a joint
philanthropic initiative of General Motors, EDS, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens
UGS PLM Software and Sun Microsystems.
Officials from the five companies announced their latest partner
university and multi-million dollar in-kind contribution during a special
ceremony and all-day program on the Wayne State campus today. The software
and hardware have a commercial value of $407.8 million, making it the
largest ever in-kind contribution received in Wayne State history.
The PACE corporate alliance has worked together since 1999 to support
academic institutions worldwide with computer-based engineering tools to
prepare designers, engineers, and analysts with the skills to compete in the
future.
“Some software programs in the suites of design simulation and modeling
tools provided by PACE have been an essential part of some Wayne State
engineering courses. But the PACE contribution will allow the College of
Engineering and its faculty to integrate the entire PACE toolbox throughout
our curriculum, starting with basic first-year engineering classes,” said
Ralph Kummler, dean of Engineering.
“Wayne State’s participation in PACE strengthens the university’s role in
Michigan’s transition to a high-tech economy,” said WSU President Irvin D.
Reid. “The tools we receive from PACE will enable us to prepare the skilled
engineering, manufacturing and design workforce needed in an increasingly
competitive global marketplace. Our selection as a PACE institution greatly
enhances Wayne State’s ability to educate the men and women who will lead
Michigan to economic prosperity.”
“UGS PLM Software is pleased to participate in bringing Wayne State
University into the PACE family,” said Dave Shirk, executive vice president,
Global Marketing, UGS PLM Software. “Today’s leading manufacturing and
technology companies compete on the basis of time to market, product cost,
quality and innovation. We hope our support for Wayne State’s engineering
curriculum will prepare its graduates even more for the real world.”
The PACE software includes UGS NX, UGS Teamcenter Engineering, UGS
Teamcenter Community, and UGS Tecnomatix; MSC Adams and MD Nastran; Altair
HyperWorks; FLUENT/GAMBIT; iSIGHT; and LS-DYNA.
In addition to the educational contributions made by the five PACE
partners, several additional “PACE Contributors and Supporters” have
embraced the PACE mission, and contribute valuable products and services to
the PACE institutions. They are 3Dconnexion, Altair Engineering, Autodesk,
Autoweb, Engineous, Fluent, Inc., Gamma Technologies, Livermore Software
Technology Corporation, MSC.Software, and Wacom.

The College of Engineering at Wayne State, with more than 2,600
undergraduate and graduate students, offers a wide range of fully accredited
engineering disciplines. Its well-respected graduates represent a large
force in Michigan industry and the engineering field.
Wayne State University is a premier institution of higher education
