The Chester County Technical College High School (TCHS) campuses recently received an in-kind software grant from Siemens PLM Software, with a commercial value of over $6.3 million, according to a press release from the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU).
Technical College High School teachers participate in a training session led by Siemens to learn how to use the Solid Edge software.
The Solid Edge software provides students enrolled in the TCHS programs access to the same technology that companies around the world depend on every day to develop innovative products in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, machinery, shipbuilding, high-tech electronics, and many more, the release said.
The in-kind grant was provided by the Siemens PLM Software’s academic program that delivers PLM software for schools at every academic level. Many of these software packages are utilized on a global perspective for the design and development of products.”
