Clemson lands $357M engineering grant
Clemson University and Siemens USA officials will announce a $357 million software grant today for the school's engineering programs.
Siemens USA, a subsidiary of the German energy and manufacturing giant, is providing Clemson with its so-called Product Lifecycle Management platform, which is used by BMW, Boeing and more than 140,000 manufacturing customers worldwide to manage product development, inventory and other operations. Both sides said the software, technical support, training and updates could drive the value of the gift higher over the next several years.
It is the largest such donation in the university's history, and comes on the heels of the just-completed $1 billion Will to Lead fundraising campaign.
