IBM and Dassault Systèmes recently announced that one of the Sweden's leading technical universities, the Linköping Institute of Technology, became the latest participating university in the IBM Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Higher Education and Training Program (HEAT).
The Linköping Institute of Technology's Department of Mechanical Engineering (IKP) has graduated from a traditional CAD platform to an IBM PLM solution platform, with CATIA V5 for collaborative product development and SMARTEAM for lifecycle management, collaboration and decision support, developed by Dassault Systèmes.
IBM and Dassault Systèmes' contribution to colleges and universities around the world has reached a new peak of $110 million in overall PLM HEAT program benefits, exceeding the $70 million goal originally established when the program was initiated in 1997. The PLM HEAT program educates university and high school students in PLM software and methodologies. Using IBM Product Lifecycle Management's core product design and product data management applications, CATIA, ENOVIA and SMARTEAM, the program seeks to help alleviate the shortage of skilled engineers by preparing students for the business world.
