Preparing engineering students forindustry positions

Following industry trends, Voronezh State

Engineering University (VSEU) continuously

updates its curriculum and teaching

techniques. The University’s Department

of Intellectual Computer-Aided Design

Technologies offers an engineering curricu-

lum which covers modern software solu-

tions for product design and product

lifecycle management (PLM). The software

used in the academic process is fromSiemens PLM Software. Solutions include

NX™ software, Solid Edge® software,

Teamcenter® software and the

Tecnomatix® portfolio.

“We began our cooperation with Siemens

PLM Software in 2010,” says Professor

Vladimir R. Petrenko, VSEU’s rector. “We

realized that a modern university student

majoring in engineering must be able to

use CAD/CAE/CAM (computer-aided design/

computer-aided engineering/computer-

aided manufacturing) systems and be able

to learn new software solutions. These werethe industry’s prerequisites for young engi-

neers. Lack of such skills means failure in

the job market.”

Since the department provides primarily

aerospace-oriented programs, the solutions

from Siemens PLM Software made good

business sense as Professor Mikhail I.

Chizhov, department head at VSEU, noted

Voronezh State Engineering UniversityEducating tomorrow’s Russian aerospace engineers

that they had become essentially a de-facto

PLM standard for the industry. He explains,“It is no secret that the software solutions from

Siemens PLM Software are widely used in our

domestic as well as the global aerospace indus-

try. It was one of the key factors in selecting

the software for the academic process.”

Another reason to choose Siemens PLM

Software’s information technology (IT) is

the comprehensiveness of its portfolio. Using

these solutions, a manufacturing company

can quickly adopt an end-to-end, integrated

development through production cycle.

Siemens PLM Software’s line of products

includes CAD systems, engineering analysis

tools, numeric control (NC) programming

applications and knowledge management

software.



“Our department offers three graduate

programs: mechanical CAD; IT for manu-

facturing; and manufacturing technology,

equipment and automation. So it was

important that the use of solutions being

implemented into the academic process

facilitate the development of every stu-

dent,” Chizhov says. “In this regard, the

software package from Siemens PLM

Software is a perfect t.”

Educating engineers

The cooperation between VSEU and

Siemens PLM Software is a part of

Siemens PLM Software’s academic partner-

ship program. The program’s objective

is to upgrade educational facilities and

improve the quality of PLM education for

product and manufacturing engineers.

The department has received about 100

academic licenses for NX, Solid Edge,

Teamcenter and Tecnomatix. The com-

puter-aided technologies (CAx) include the

same functionality, update policies and

technical support supplied to commercialcustomers. Plus, software training was

provided to the department’s faculty

members. More than 16 professors have

earned NX prociency certicates.

Engineering students begin using PLM

technology as early as their rst year at

the university via the CAD history and

CAD fundamentals courses. In addition,

through pilot projects, students learn the

fundamentals of 3D modeling (for exam-

ple, using Solid Edge) and perform simple

exercises.

“Students express great interest in the new

design technologies,” says Professor Yuri S.Skripchenko, vice department head at

VSEU. “They realize that their future is

integrally tied to these very solutions.

They enjoy the opportunity to experiment

within the software environment. Design

is a creative work. There may be hundreds

of different solutions to a problem. Our

students relish exploring multiple solu-

tions and then choosing the best one.”

The faculty members have noticed that

learning 3D modeling fundamentals pro-

motes academic progress in other courses

and helps with work studies at leadingmanufacturing companies. “We have

observed that the students are now much

better at descriptive geometry and manu-

facturing drawing,” says Skripchenko. “It is

no wonder, since 3D modeling helps with

understanding drawings and perceiving

parts as a whole.”

facilitates evenly distributed

workloads among the stake-

holders and provides trace-

ability. Collaboration, with

the help of Tecnomatix,

Teamcenter, Solid Edge and

In their rst and second years, many stu-

dents become so procient at 3D modeling

that they are able to independently make

both bottom-top and top-bottom assem-

blies and further rene the designs. “This

year, for the rst time, we hosted an NX

3D modeling contest for freshmen, and we

were pleasantly surprised with the stu-

dents’ performance,” says Chizhov. “The

participants were so enthusiastic and capa-

ble that they managed to solve problems

more suitable for third year students.

Unquestionably, the new technologies

mean a new approach to learning, espe-cially thanks to visualization. Using CAD,

a student sees the model evolving during

the course of design, notices mistakes and

nds ways to eliminate them, which

improves their motivation and commit-

ment to making better decisions.”

In the third and fourth years, engineering

students learn NC programming, simula-

tion, production planning, and assembly

process visualization techniques, acquiring

valuable skills. NX, Solid Edge, Teamcenter

and Tecnomatix are all used to support theacademic process.

The department has ve computer labs,

four servers and a dedicated classroom

for learning CAM systems.

To help students learn NC programming,

there are four workstations equipped withSinuTrain. This training software works

like a real Sinumerik CNC controller and

thus helps students to later transfer their

knowledge to real machine tools. Besides,

there is a tutorial desktop 3-axis NC mill-

ing machine used by the students, giving

them experience in working with metals

commonly used in aerospace industry.

The faculty members have developed a

tutorial data model. Combined with

Siemens PLM Software’s technologies, the

model has enabled a comprehensive man-ufacturing product design and production

planning cycle. Collaboration across geo-

graphically dispersed groups is managed

through the use of Teamcenter, which

also provides secure data access over the

internet so the students can work from

home.

Learning how to work together

Siemens PLM Software’s solutions play a

special role in developing course and

graduation projects. The cooperation

between VSEU and Voronezh Aircraft

Manufacturing Enterprise, one of the

leading aircraft manufacturers in centralRussia, helps the students apply their skills

to real-life situations. In these projects,

students create digital mockups, develop

NC code, make digital standard part

libraries, perform nite element modeling

(FEM), utilize motion analysis for assem-

blies, and more.



“Use of Siemens PLM Software’s products

enables an integrated approach to project

development, facilitates evenly distributedworkloads among the stakeholders and

provides traceability,” says Chizhov.

“Collaboration, with the help of

Tecnomatix, Teamcenter, Solid Edge and

NX, enables students to learn teamwork

principles, gets them ready for real-life

production processes at modern manufac-

turing companies, and establishes an

advanced production-management

mindset.”

More specically, that mindset is enhanced

through the use of the Plant Simulation

solution in the Tecnomatix® portfolio,which was rst introduced at the depart-

ment in 2011. Its optimization and produc-

tion ow analysis functionality and built-in

genetic algorithms were instrumental in

the faculty’s redening of course projects.

Real-world projects are especially helpful

in accelerating learning. For example, ten

students worked on planning for the digi-

tal manufacturing of airliner components,

an integrated project supervised by

Chizhov and Skripchenko. This large-scale

research and development (R&D) project,involving Siemens PLM Software products,

turned out to be extremely useful for

actual production. A number of manufac-

turing equipment models, as well as man-

ufacturing and assembly processes, have

been developed. A production simulation

model has been implemented and ana-

lyzed. In addition, the assembly process of

a cargo hatch for a mid-range airliner has

been simulated, with the ergonomics eval-

uated as well.

These are just a few of the many projects

at VSEU that have been conducted using

Siemens PLM Software’s solutions. Someprojects have even won awards. For exam-

ple, in 2012, Igor Karmakov, a VSEU stu-

dent, earned second in the “Daring Ideas

with Siemens PLM Software” student

design contest. His “Sports Car Star Way”

project was implemented with NX. The

project included not only the vehicle’s

basic geometry and models of its compo-

nents, but also strength analysis, motion

analysis, multiphysics exhaust system

analysis and NC programming.

Another project, an assembly model of the

Lectra Vector TechTex cutting machine,was developed by VSEU students

Alexander Sergeenko and Mikhail Ogurtsov

using NX. The project placed among the

top ten in the contest.

Among the most signicant achievements

by students and faculty are their contribu-

tions to the Antonov 148 regional jet, an

integrated project supported by a govern-

ment grant. The team provided high-tech

avionics production development for this

new generation airliner based on exible

production concepts and modern compos-

ites for serial production. The work wasperformed using Siemens PLM Software

technology.

Graduating condent professionals

The university continues to further its pro-

ductive use of solutions from Siemens PLM

Software, launching CAx programs at the

graduate level. For example, in 2012 the

department opened a new M.Sc. program

on PLM. “The program is fully based on

Siemens PLM Software’s technologies,”

says Skripchenko.

“The students gain very valuable skills as a

result of working with modern CAD andPLM systems,” Chizhov adds. “In doing so,

they can experiment and creatively solve

engineering problems. A collaborative

project development using Teamcenter

is a way of mastering teamwork, as well

as taking responsibility for delivering

high-quality work on time.”

Skripchenko concludes, “Education today is

not just theoretical learning, but doing real

experiments. No wonder there is a high

demand for our graduates on the job mar-

ket. They are ready to use the newest and

most advanced CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM tools.”
