12 Universities in China Get Over $700m Siemens Software Grants for NX

Twelve universities throughout China are receiving in-kind software grants from Siemens PLM Software for its NX software in an effort to advance the teaching of design and manufacturing management while cultivating high-quality talents in the region. The in-kind grants have a commercial value of more than $700 million and include the Beijing Institute of Petrochemical Technology, Dongguan University of Technology, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou University, Nanchang University, Ningxia University, Shandong Jiaotong University, Shenyang City University, Tianjin University of Technology and Education, Yuncheng University, Southwest University and Qinghai University. Siemens’ NX software is a computer-aided digital design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) solution. The new grants will enable 5,000 students from the 12 universities to receive technical certification over the next three years.

The news follows last year’s Siemens PLM Software announcement about the signing of a long-term memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Education Management Information Center of the People’s Republic of China Ministry of Education (MOE). The MOU established cooperation between the two parties to support the National Computer-Aided Technology Certification Project (CAXc Project) aimed at cultivating innovative engineering technology talent and enhancing career competitive advantages for China’s university and secondary vocational school students.
