UC Siemens Center presents at IFEES Webinar

The University of Cincinnati's Siemens Simulation Technology Center gave a presentation to engineers from around the world during a webinar sponsored by the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies.

UC simulation center directors Sam Anand and Jay Kim, both Ph.D., presented on integration of Siemens simulation apps within the engineering curriculum. 

The International Federation of Engineering Education Societies offers webinars for engineering educators and stakeholders. These global webinars are attended by individuals from academia and industry. Many cutting-edge and controversial topics in engineering and engineering pedagogy are discussed in these webinars.

The webinar began with Gil Morris, project manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software, introducing the center and its directors. Anand highlighted the curriculum integration and industry outreach for digital manufacturing and additive manufacturing at the center.

He shared the various tools developed at the center that are integrated with Siemens NX software.

Kim continued by highlighting the vertical integration of courses with simulation software in the curriculum for both undergraduate and graduate students. He expressed the need to nurture engineers with strong fundamental knowledge and simulation technology. 

About 440 people around the world attended the webinar.

What parvovirus is and why it's on the rise

July 10, 2025

An infectious virus common in children is on the rise in the Tristate. The Cincinnati Health Department is warning of a rise in parvovirus in Hamilton County. The illness can present itself as a rash on the cheeks and is often called “slapped cheek” disease but can present more serious concerns in pregnant women. Kara Markham, MD, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine recently appeared on Cincinnati Edition on WVXU to discuss how parvovirus is transmitted, the risk of serious cases and how to prevent it.
