Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education (PACE) links GM, EDS, HP, Siemens PLM Software, Sun Microsystems, and their global operations, to support strategically selected academic institutions worldwide to develop the automotive product lifecycle management (PLM) team of the future. PLM, as it relates to PACE, is an integrated, parametrics-based approach to all aspects of a product's life-from its design inception, through its manufacture, marketing, distribution and maintenance, and finally into recycling and disposal. Currently, PACE is focused on:
- Requirements and planning (concept development)
- Styling (conceptualization)
- Product engineering (detailed design)
|
- Simulation (validation, optimization)
- Manufacturing engineering (tooling, machining, 3D plant layout)
- Managed development environment (product data management, supply chain management, digital collaboration)

Assisted by many companies called PACE Contributors and PACE Supporters, PACE provides hardware, software, training, automotive parts, industry projects, and much more to PACE Institutions around the world.
