c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Utilizing Applications Programming Interfaces to Provide Product Lifecycle Management and Enhance Manufacturing EducationAbstractIn the past 30 years, software development companies have made great strides in the areas ofproject planning, business management, material handling, engineering and manufacturing, inhopes that someday an all-in-one software package would be made available. Companies likePTC, Dassault Systèmes, AutoDesk and Siemens NX, are making this dream a reality.Just because one very expensive piece of software can handle most aspects of engineeringdevelopment that does not mean that it is flexible. Nor can it be adapted to individual companiesand their standard
