ENIM (the National Engineering School of Metz in France), using Dassault systèmes software solutions, developed the Global Factory project to design a digital manufacturing plant aiming at producing a car engine.

The project Global Factory enabled students and educators from all over the world to engage in an innovative pedagogical experience. This project brought together, on a joint project, fourth-year engineering undergraduates from eleven schools and universities in nine countries. Thanks to a dedicated online community, the students involved were able to share ideas, ask questions, access online training materials, and more.
