ASEE Bestows Top Collaboration Award on PACE – Again!Letter from PACE Core Team

“We believe the

PACE program is finally

taking the forefront

as a very influential

global organization.

We are grateful for

membership!”Dr. David Anthony

Brigham Young University, USA

The American Society for Engineering Education’s Corporate Member Council (CMC) named PACE as the winner of the 2013 Excellence in Engineering Education Award. The award was presented at the ASEE Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration on February 6, 2013 in Mesa, AZ.

The Excellence in Engineering Education Award recognizes CMC member companies that demonstrate outstanding collaboration with colleges, universities, and K-12 programs to impact engineering education and heighten the interest of young people in engineering.

ASEE bestowed the award for the PACE Global Collaboration Project Competition Initiative. PACE project competitions provide opportunities for students to expand and develop professional skills by participating in multi-university teams, utilizing PACE state-of-the-art design, engineering, manufacturing, collaboration software, and applying product lifecycle management tools and concepts. PACE initiated the competition format in 2010, with the goal to improve the global collaborative student experience across cultures, languages, and time zones. The 2010-2012 competition focused on the future of sustainable urban transportation (SUT), with more than 300 students, faculty and company representatives engaged in the competition.

“With the automotive industry constantly evolving, we are always looking for opportunities to foster the education of students pursuing degrees or careers in science, technology, engineering and math-related (STEM) fields,” said John Calabrese, General Motors vice president, Global Vehicle Engineering. “In order to continue creating the best vehicles for our customers’ global needs, we need to develop the next generation of leaders in this space and learn from their innovative solutions. The PACE Global Collaborative Project Competition Initiative offers us the chance to keep these students passionate and engaged solving real-world issues.”

This is the second time ASEE has named PACE as a winner of the Excellence in Engineering Education Award – PACE also received the award in 2010.

“PACE is a best practice in engineering education collaboration for both academia and industry,” said Bill Boswell, senior director of Partner Strategy, Siemens PLM Software. “This recognition emphasizes how important it is for students to go beyond textbooks and labs and design and engineer real-world products in advanced PLM technology.”

2013 was a successful year for PACE! Early in the year, PACE received “excellence” awards from two highly-respected organizations, the American Society of Engineering Education Corporate Member Council and the CorpU-Learning Excellence and Innovation Council. These awards attest to the success of PACE and corroborate the relevance of the PACE Mission “to develop the automotive product lifecycle management (PLM) team of the future.”

We launched the PACE Institution Certification in the US during the first half of 2013 to recognize institutions for performance excellence in support of the PACE Mission. Eleven institutions achieved PACE Silver Certification status in the initial phase, for demonstrating excellence in PACE software deployment, curriculum integration, projects and competitions, and leadership. As we continue the certification into 2014, the scope will expand to include the rest of the countries.

Students from 32 universities around the world competed in the first year of the Portable Assisted Mobility Device global project competition. Each of the seven multi-university, multi-cultural teams unveiled their concept prototypes during the 2013 PACE Annual Forum at Art Center College of Design in July, with more than 100 students attending. Through this project competition, engineering and industrial design students collaborated to design and engineer a “first mile, last mile” device, and experienced many of the same challenges that industrial designers, product engineers, and manufacturing engineers encounter in industry.

We welcomed The Foundry as a new PACE Contributor in October. The Foundry’s NukeX 3D digital compositing software is used for high-end visualization in automotive design and other applications, and further enhances the PACE portfolio of software. Government, industry, and academic leaders across the globe increasingly stress the need for graduates in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. As one example in the US, President Obama has stressed the importance of STEM education in each of his last three State of the Union addresses. Another example is the “Transforming Undergraduate Education in En-gineering” joint project between ASEE and NSF to develop a new strategy of undergraduate en-gineering education that meets the needs in the 21st Century. PACE has been actively bridging the gap between industry and education since 1999 addressing the 36 Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities traits (KSAs) identified by this ASEE/NSF initiative through collaborative projects, global competitions, industry mentors, and curriculum integration of industry tools and techniques.

The product of PACE is the student – and these students are the next generation of engineers and designers who will lead innovation and invent creative solutions for the issues facing industry and society. PACE will be what we make of it!

PACE PAMD Year #1 Project Competition Judging Results

The 2012-2014 PACE Portable Assisted Mobility (PAMD) global project competition challenges students to design, engineer and manufacture a sustainable transportation solution for “first mile, last mile” transit within megacities. Teams are to design and build a small power-assisted vehicle that mixes seamlessly with public and personal urban transportation and can be ready for mass-production within three years.

Thirty-two PACE Institutions from eleven countries elected to participate in the competition, and formed seven multi-country teams. Each team is comprised of a manufacturing “host” institution to lead the team and oversee the prototype build, an industrial design institution to lead the concept development, and two or three additional engineering institutions. Host schools include Hongik University (South Korea), University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), PES Institute of Technology (India), ITESM-Toluca (Mexico), RWTH Aachen University (Germany), University of Puerto Rico (USA), and Politecnico di Torino (Italy).

In the first year of the two-year competition, teams selected a target market, researched the market, developed multiple concept proposals, drafted the vehicle technical specification (VTS), and built a scale model of the final concept. Each team was responsible for its own organization, project management, timeline, communications, and team building. Teams met at the 2013 PACE Annual Forum in July to present their work to the judging panel.

More than 100 students representing the seven PAMD teams presented their first year results to a judging panel of industry and academic experts during the 2013 PACE Annual Forum at Art Center College of Design. Teams exhibited physical scale models of their final design concept; prepared posters, an oral presentation, and a comprehensive report; and met face-to-face with the judging panel.

Judges scored the PAMD teams in four categories: Market Research, Industrial Design, Product Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering. In addition to assessing the design and technical work of the teams, the judges also considered the collaborative strategy and skills exhibited by each team. The winning teams were recognized at the Thursday, July 25 Awards Dinner at The Athenaeum on the CalTech campus. Awards were bestowed for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each of the four judging categories, as well as an overall best award for collaboration.

PACE Laboratory Award

The PACE laboratories are a vital resource for students, with more than 4800 computers around the world. Not only do the PACE labs give students hands-on access to the CAD/CAM/CAE software applied in courses and projects, but they also facilitate collaboration, teleconferencing, and rapid prototyping for PACE project teams. These labs include:

• 53 PACE CAD/CAE laboratories

• 25 PACE Collaboration centers for student project teams

• 15 PACE Digital manufacturing laboratories

• 17 PACE Prototype and digital output labs

Felicitaciones to ITESM-Toluca as the recipient of the 2013 PACE Laboratory Award! The annual PACE Laboratory Award recognizes one PACE Institution for creating an outstanding laboratory to promote the development of the automotive Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) team of the future.

The ITESM-Toluca PACE lab serves students from multiple departments for both courses and projects - Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Architecture, and Industrial Design. The lab supports not only the ITESM-Toluca PACE PAMD team, but other university teams such as SAE Aero Design, SAE Electraton, and ASME Human Powered Vehicle as well. A unique feature of the lab are the opaque crystal wall surfaces that serve as whiteboards. The lab computers are outfitted with a full complement of PACE software tools, including Siemens NX, Siemens Tecnomatix, Autodesk Moldflow, Altair HyperWorks, MSC Adams, ANSYS Fluent, DSS Isight, and MathWorks MATLAB.
