  1. The UK’s First Dedicated Centre for Industrial Power and Energy Engineering

  2. Welcome to the first new School of Engineering created in over 20 years An unprecedented Collaboration between Industry and Academia • Professor Mary Stewart – Vice Chancellor of the University of Lincoln • Nick Muntz – Managing Director of Siemens UK

  3. Innovation in action Product Training Facility Research & Development Industry Ready Students

  4. Re-Engineering Education – An Unprecedented Collaboration between Industry and Academia

  5. The Engineering Hub – Designed by Engineers, for Engineers A New Approach… The first purpose-built School of Engineering to be created in the UK for more than 20 years. The development is a collaboration between the University and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. as part of a £37M development with support from HEFCE, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and part funded by Lincolnshire County Council (LCC).

  6. Product Training in the Engineering Hub Siemens has located it’s customer and staff training school at the University campus in the Engineering hub and will continue as an operational department but also dedicating time to undergraduate training • Product Training will remain a Siemens function but will benefit from operating in a higher education environment in purpose built premises • Product Training courses to be accredited by the University and Engineering Institutions with a view to awarding of CPD/CATS points for short course completion.

  7. Siemens University Training Centre – First weeks • Opening on the 22nd of August the new training centre welcomed 141 SIT employees for tours during the week of the 5th of August. Many thanks for those who were able to make it across and for the positive feedback we received. • In the first 4 weeks:- • 10 training courses • Over 60 trainees • From SIT and Siemens organisations in Mexico, Brazil, Algeria, US, Canada and Dubai. • Week commencing 19th September we welcomed our first customers arriving from Petronas, Malaysia • Excellent feedback and improved rating for satisfaction following the relocation

  9. World Class Research on the Door Step • Siemens will donate it’s atmospheric combustion facility to the University of Lincoln to provide post graduate research ability. • 4 highly application driven project specifications have already been created and released for research programmes in combustion, remote monitoring & data management, and high-speed coupling vibration • Cost of Projects and Savings

  10. Taught Courses Full and Part Time Degrees Engineering Foundation Year MSc Renewable Power and Energy Siemens Energy Sector BEng and MEng Mechanical Engineering • Renewables • CHP • Future Turbomachinery • Generation • Distribution • Alternative Fuels • Energy Storage & Fuel Cells • Energy • Power Generation • Turbomachinery - Steam &Gas • Generators • Power plants • Renewables • Fuel cells Power Transmission & Distribution • Smart grid • HV products • Transformers • HVDC • GIL • Automation, controls, electrical and protection • Compression, expansion and ventilation Common Level 1 Common Level 2 • Core Level 3 + Stream Options • BEng and MEng Individual Design Projects Mechanical Engineering Power and Energy Control Systems • Level 4 Specialist Stream Options • MEng Group Research Projects with Industrial Sponsors

  11. Bridging the gap between strategic skills supply and employer demand Jan 2010 Jun 2010 Jun 2010 2013 Sign commercial agreement between Siemens & UoL Obtain approval from U/G course syllabus Appoint staff from Engineering School Approve lease for product training space in new facility Sign agreement for R&D First Engineering students New Facility Build Product Training Commences Ind. Ready 1st graduates Project Concept Business Case HEFCE Funding MSC Concept Implement Design Handover

  12. Genuine Benefits to Staff and Students S Siemens • Early opportunity to plan recruitment • Up-skilling of work force • World class training facility • Access to leading academics and world class research • Reduction in length of graduate training time and improved retention • Addresses strategic skills gaps University • Collaboration is the USP for attracting the best staff and students • Exceeded recruitment targets for undergraduate students (87 now enrolled including 20 students) • Exceeded targets for external income generation (£2.5M in 18 months) • Highly commended by the IMechE and IET Innovative local development has attracted global attention – Siemens Lincoln is back on the map!

  13. Wider Impact – A Focal Point For Engineering

  14. The Journey Continues ! • Longer term vision, ‘industry ready’ graduates 2013 and beyond • First company graduates expected in 2013 • Request to wider Siemens Business units to enrol staff onto Lincoln courses • Phase II build planned for 2013/14 • BEng, MEng and MSc Electrical Engineering planned for 2014
