UC collaborates Siemens PLM Software for new center
University of Cincinnati and Siemens PLM software joined hands to open a simulation and modeling center at the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
The Simulation Technology Center will establish a connection between academia and industry by educating and training students in CAD, CAE, digital design and manufacturing to make them industry ready.
UC Siemens simulation technology center will be a hub for development and application of new methodologies and technologies in engineering education and research in all aspects of product life-cycle management.
Siemens PLM software has pledged a support of $1 million dollars to establish the Simulation Technology Center along with the support of its staff and providing UC with all Siemens PLM software. Using the software, students will have the opportunity to perform state-of-the-art design, engineering analysis, product development and manufacturing simulations, and learn from industry experts.
Professor Jay Kim, department head of UC's Mechanical and Materials Engineering, and Sam Anand, a professor of mechanical engineering, also will serve as the operational director of the center and lead CEAS faculty.

The average time to clinical diagnosis of endometriosis is nine years. Definitive diagnosis of the disease is difficult, and until recently, has relied on laparoscopic surgery. Now, as Medscape recently reported, novel clinical recommendations, advanced diagnostic tools and research into inflammation and immune responses, are bringing promise that women with endometriosis will find relief sooner and without surgery, according to experts, including Katie Burns, PhD, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine associate professor.
