Intergraph® has entered into an educational program agreement with Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), the largest state-owned university in the state of Puebla, Mexico, to train students and instructors from the Superior Studies of Engineering and Technology Division using Intergraph’s best-in-class SmartPlant® Enterprise plant design solutions.

Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla is the first university in Mexico to sign this type of agreement with Intergraph. The three-year agreement was officially signed during a conference on campus. Honor witnesses included representatives from Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) – the state-owned oil and gas company – and several major engineering, procurement and construction firms, including ICA Fluor, CH2M Hill, Uhde Engineering, Jacobs Engineering and III/SENER.

Mexico City-based PEMEX expects to build several more plants in the future and wants Mexican universities to be able to provide more and better-prepared engineers. BUAP chose Intergraph software to instruct students using state-of-the-art plant design technology that will allow them to make an immediate impact with owner operators and EPCs upon graduation.
