UGS College，derived from GO PLM Program，is the fruit of long－term cooperation between Siemens PLM Software and Yancheng lnstitute of Technology（China）．Guided by talent requirements for the job market，UGS College integrates digital manufacturing technologies and processes through NX and Teamcenter into its curriculums．This makes the learning and application of NX throughout the 4years of undergraduate school，a distinctive talentcultivating model．In Apr．2008，I came to the beautiful campus of Yancheng Institute of Technology and was pleasantly surprised at the innovative engineering design projects by students from UGS College deploy NX in their curriculum．Now I am fully confident that UGS School will realize the expected goals in the digital manufacturing field for enterprises especially for NX and Teamcenter users．

3DModeling and Mechanical Engineering Drawings is a representative work which integrates correlative NX modules of UGS College with original subjects and establishes a framework that lays equal stress on 3Dmodeling and 2Ddrafting．Centered on the construction of 3Dmodels，engineering knowledge threads the whole textbook and involves many useful manfuacturing applications．The teaching contents also cover principles of 3D modeling（characterization，parameterization，CSG method，calculation of form and structure，etc．）．In particular，each chapter of the extending textbook Practice Guidance for 3DModeling and Mechanical Engineering Drawings includes application guidance on computer，representative case and exercises in class and out of class，which is convenient for students to master relevant knowledge and technology from the modeling practice．This subject is one of the most important courses for UGS College students，and justified by their innovative engineering design projects．The textbook，I dare say，is very successful．

For three years it has been revised three times before this publication．Thus，other GO PLM universities in China may share the teaching outcome of UGS College．I also hope more universities will publish GO PLM textbooks to share their education fruits and experience and contribute more to the China’s talents cultivation in digital design and manufacturing field．
