3. Evolution of Manufacturing
Let’s take a moment to talk about the evolution of manufacturing.
I know most of us are very familiar with the previous industrial revolutions that have brought us into the 21st century (reference slide). At Siemens, we believe we are now witnessing the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. Technological advancements that enable the digitalization and interconnection of products, value chains and business models, enabling manufacturing organizations of all sizes to take advantage of the industrial internet and become a “digital enterprise”.

Siemens’ Solid Edge is a portfolio of affordable, easy-to-use software tools that address all aspects of the product development process – 3D design, simulation, manufacturing, data management and more, thanks to a growing ecosystem of apps. Solid Edge Design combines the speed and simplicity of direct modeling with the flexibility and control of parametric design – made possible with synchronous technology.
It’s the ideal platform for you to start your digitalization journey: 1.) Powerful.
2.) Affordable,
3.) Easy to use, and
4.) Open (best at handling multi CAD, plus 200+ add on apps)
Lets take a look at a couple of our customers who already started to realize the benefits of the digital enterprise…
Industry-leading 3D design software. Combine the speed of direct modeling with the flexibility of parametric design.
Simulation tools to digitally validate part and assembly designs.
Manufacturing solutions to accurately and efficiently manufacture parts.
3D rendering and animation to create fast, accurate and amazing visuals
Bring your design to life through additive manufacturing tools like 3D printers

6. Today’s Challenges in Education
The Industry is experiencing an increasing need for engineers
Very few students show interest in STEM education
It is hard to get them excited
Many students drop out of STEM programs
Even those that don't drop out, many never complete their ‘STEM’ degree in college
Colleges expect students to be prepared and proficient in professional tools such as CAD 'Computer Aided Design’
Educators are busy with their daily schedule – how do they find the time to learn a tool such as CAD and get proficient enough to actually teach it?
In fact, which tools do we even use?!
Seems like an unsolvable problem…
or is it?

7. Siemens answers…
Students love to be creative – creativity spurs innovation  this is engineering
Give STEM meaning with project based learning
Curriculums that are fun and visual
Content that is self-paced and tailored to the students  Teachers just facilitate
Siemens’ has a portfolio of engineering software that is unmatched in the industry.
Siemens is an engineering company with more than 160 years of experience in designing and manufacturing products
