\"UMD

I visited the beautiful campus of the University of Maryland (UMD) in September to sit down with Dr. Jewel Barlow<\/A>, one of the advocates who helped bring Siemens PLM software on campus to locations like the Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel.

Jewel is director of UMD’s wind tunnel. He shares in our three-part video interview below why he went into aeronautical engineering and academia.

He also notes why this grant is important to UMD:
<\/P>

\u201cTo do aerodynamic testing\u2026 we need that three-dimensional information as efficiently as possible\u2026 Typical wind test planning cycle may be six months to a year. That\u2019s too long. It needs to be days instead of months. That will only happen with these software tools\u2026The software that enables us\u2026 will have to become second nature to our best engineers, our best designers.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>

In addition to Jewel\u2019s comments, I also wanted to share these outtakes in the recent issue of the UMD\u2019s independent student newspaper, The Diamondback<\/A>:
\u201cNow, the university can use it in its own projects, helping merge the gap between theory and application to spur economic growth<\/STRONG> in manufacturing and bring the university up to par with the world\u2019s top innovators, (University President Wallace) Loh said.\u201d

\u201cThe software will become a central resource<\/STRONG> through all aspects of the design process, from concept to implementation, making it easier and faster to create projects,\u201d students and faculty said.

\u201cThe new software is more team-oriented<\/STRONG>, helping students working on group projects,\u201d she said (Liz Sauerbrunn, mechanical engineering graduate student).

\u201cThe biggest difference this software is going to bring is innovation<\/STRONG> of the various domains,\u201d said Moschler, Institute of Systems Research robotics lab manager. \u201cThe software we have is unattached together. We have one software for modeling the system and another for modeling the software and another for modeling the hardware \u2026 So PLM [does] the whole thing; that\u2019s the big change for us.\u201d

\u201c[Terps] can only move forward; they can\u2019t move backwards \u2014 that\u2019s the can-do attitude that characterizes the University of Maryland,\u201d Loh said. \u201cWe think big; we take risks; we persevere, and this extraordinary gift will enable us to keep moving forward<\/STRONG> in the areas of engineering and manufacturing.\u201d<\/BLOCKQUOTE>
