Siemens PLM Software has granted software to the tune of $79 million to an engineering college at Moodbidri in Dakshina Kannada district, according to press reports. The MoU to this effect was signed on March 20, 2014.
The technological aid is for setting up a Centre of Excellence in digital design, digital validation and in digital manufacturing at Mangalore Institute of Technology and Engineering (MITE).
