3 The ultimate objective of higher education institutions is to cultivate engineering talent for enterprises. HDU adheres to the mission of helping students consolidate the theoretical foundation, focusing on compounding their knowledge across key manufacturing and engineering applications. From this perspective, HDU and Siemens PLM Software share a common objective: serve enterprises by providing competent engineers. This shared goal naturally leads to strong cooperation. At the time of the launch, HDU implemented Siemens PLM Software s NX software and Teamcenter software. Since 2014, Siemens PLM Software has also provided an Industrie 4.0 smart factorylab technical solution. HDU has provided NX training sessions for engineering students in their metalwork-relevant internship periods. In the second half of 2015, Siemens PLM Software also gave lectures on NX and Teamcenter as part of a variety of related courses. Students are encouraged to take a certification exam. With the staged implementation of the project, additional teaching and practices are planned for launch. The program will be adjusted, as needed, as part of a built-in continuous improvement plan. Full support Siemens PLM Software s solutions support students during their four-year learning process without interruption. Teaching is carried out in accordance with the pace of project implementation. In the first year, students will receive an overview of the future factory via the Smart Factory Test System. In the second year, students will engage the mechanical CAD/computeraided manufacturing (CAM) curriculum, learning NX and Teamcenter. Course work includes master product design methods and computerized management of manufacturing engineering information as well as mechatronics design. In the third year, students are introduced to the automated manufacturing system curriculum, where they will learn to use Teamcenter, which naturally bolsters their knowledge of product data management (PDM) and affords them big-picture perspective in Between the efforts of the technical experts from Siemens PLM Software and the cooperation of the teachers and students of HDU, we believe the Industrie 4.0-based Smart Factory Test System will provide us with more value than we ever expected. Dean, School of Mechanical Engineering Among comprehensive test platforms, the Smart Factory Test Platform was jointly developed by Siemens PLM Software and the HDU School of Mechanical Engineering.
