The agreement was signed jointly by SISW and their partner, DesignTech Systems Ltd. (DesignTech) on September 11, 2013 at the Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar during a seminar on qualitative improvements in higher education.

Hon. Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi, who was present at the event, said: "The agreement signed today with Siemens for five Centers of excellence is not just an academic activity, but an initiative to meet the emerging education needs and aspirations of not only Gujarat, but also our country as a whole."

The five COEs will address diverse industry segments like automotive, industrial machinery, industrial automation, aerospace and defense, and shipbuilding. The collaboration will train students on relevant industry processes and help create industry-ready trained personnel. The COEs are unique in their ability as they will be able to stitch together the virtual world of engineering and manufacturing simulation with the physical world of product development and manufacturing.

Equipped with the latest PLM software solutions from Siemens PLM Software for quality control, CIM controllers and software and rapid prototyping machines, all the software is integrated using the Siemens Total Integrated Automation (TIA) portal, and each of the COEs will have seven fully equipped laboratories staffed with instructors trained and certified by SISW.
