Abstract
Modern manufacturing companies are utilizing advanced technologies to manage their engineering data to enable them to create products with advanced features faster than ever before. People, culture, product data management (PDM), process management, and project management are combined to achieve synergies within the company. The technological automation of these components is the core of product lifecycle management (PLM). These components are discussed relative to their contribution to a modern PLM vision. Because PLM is a standard method of engineering data management, modern educators must be aware of the methodologies deployed within the modern manufacturing engineering environment to successfully teach engineers.
