  text: The topic of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) should be nowadays part of
    any engineering degree course in every university worldwide. In an increasingly
    digital and connected world, students and prospective engineers need to know the
    interrelationships of holistic product development. Excellent expertise in a discipline
    such as mechanical engineering is still necessary, but no longer sufficient. This
    article explains why this is the case and what universities can do to address
    this issue. It describes in detail the PLM course of the OWL University of Applied
    Sciences and Arts located in Lemgo, Germany. In addition, suggestions are made
    on how to improve the course content, based on many years of experience. As such,
    this article is a valuable source of information for anyone teaching PLM today
    or intending to do so in the future.
