The implementation of a PLM system represents a transformative shift in the product development environment, fostering a more structured and reliable approach to managing the product lifecycle. This underscores the importance of PLM education in training engineers, equipping them not only with theoretical knowledge of product development and lifecycle principles but also with practical, hands-on experience using PLM platforms. By integrating both conceptual understanding and applied learning, PLM education enhances students' skills in product data management. This thesis aims to implement a PLM platform as a supplementary tool for the teaching of product design principles, in particular to improve students' understanding and application of both product lifecycle management and collaborative product development principles.
