Siemens Offers $327M Software Grant to Honolulu College
 PLANO,
Texas and HONOLULU, HI, Oct 31, 2008 - Siemens PLM Software, a business unit
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 $327 million to Honolulu
Community College’s (HCC) Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training (PCATT)
to enrich their engineering curriculum and share technology in the areas of
critical infrastructure lifecycle management in Hawaii and beyond. The
in-kind grant includes software, student and instructor training and
academic support.
Siemens PLM Software’s world-class PLM software enables the PCATT to
expand its current course offering to better serve Hawaii’s incumbent
workforce. Courses will be developed and incorporated into accredited
programs as electives in three disciplines including Architecture,
Engineering and CAD, Information and Computer Studies (ICS) and the
Computer, Electronics and Networking Technology (CENT) programs. Siemens PLM
Software’s NX and Teamcenter software are included in the in-kind grant,
provided through its GO PLM (Global Opportunities in Product Lifecycle
Management) program.
NX is Siemens PLM Software’s comprehensive digital product development
solution. Teamcenter is Siemens PLM Software's digital lifecycle management
solution and the world’s most widely used PLM portfolio.
“This grant of equipment and applications from Siemens PLM Software
supports a public-private partnership to provide the resources necessary to
complete training throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Rim that will impact us
nationally and internationally,” said Scott Murakami, director, PCATT. “Both
our students will benefit from this grant and our communities will benefit
from this grant because graduates will be able to immediately contribute to
business success upon graduation.”
“Siemens PLM Software strives to develop and nurture partnerships that
provide significant value for academic institutions, youth and displaced
workers and our global communities,” said Hulas King, director of Siemens
PLM Software’s Global Community Relations and GO PLM programs. “We will work
closely with HCC and PCATT to enrich their engineering programs and
positively impact their ability to develop top-notch engineers and
technologists.”
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 979,000
students yearly at nearly 9,500 global institutions, where it is used at
every academic level – from middle schools to graduate engineering research
