| Midwest Culinary Institute Team Wins Bronze in Statewide Competition |
| Siemens Makes $66.8M Software Grant to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College |
A team of students from the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State won a bronze medal for its third
place showing in the recent Student American Culinary Federation state competition at Hocking College near
Athens, Ohio.
The teams in the competition were required to prepare a four-course meal in 75 minutes, and also participated
in a skills relay before a panel of judges.
Chef Danny Bungenstock, a resident of Erlanger, Ky., (pictured above at far left), served as team manager this
year. Student members of the MCI team were, left to right next to Bungenstock, team captain Brandon
Fortener, a Mariemont resident; Evan Hartman, from Milford, Ohio; Patrick Kenyon, a Florence, Ky., resident;
Erik Bentz, from Maineville, Ohio; and Kevin Bell, a Cincinnati resident.
Bungenstock noted that participation in the American Culinary Federation student competitions relies
entirely on volunteer labor. “Everyone involved is a part of this because they have a vested interest in the
progression of the culinary craft, as well as the honing of their skills for their own personal journey,” he said.

Facility, Siemens announced a $66.8 million in-kind
software grant to Cincinnati State Technical and
Community College. Students there will now have
access to the same Siemens’ product lifecycle
management (PLM) software used throughout the global
manufacturing industry to design, develop and
manufacture some of the world’s most sophisticated products in a variety of industries, including
automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, machinery, shipbuilding, and high-tech electronics.
“The manufacturing industry in America is on the rise and it is being transformed by a software revolution
that is enhancing productivity, increasing efficiency and speeding time to market,” said Chuck Grindstaff,
president and CEO, Siemens PLM Software. “This revolution requires a highly trained workforce. With this
grant, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College will be able to integrate world-class PLM
technology into its curriculum, so that its students are even better prepared for co-op assignments and for
high quality manufacturing jobs.”
Siemens’ software will be used in Cincinnati State’s Center for Innovative Technologies to support its
mechanical engineering and industrial design technologies programs, as well as other programs in the
college. Computer labs on the Clifton campus will be outfitted with Siemens software to support computer-
aided design (CAD) courses. Students and faculty will use the software in assignments and research related
to mechanical engineering, industrial design and manufacturing management.
By using the software in their course work, academic and research projects, students will develop the
advanced skills sought after by the more than 71,000 global customers who utilize Siemens’ software and
technology solutions. Nearly 500 businesses throughout the state of Ohio and in the Cincinnati region rely
on Siemens’ PLM and CAD software including employers such as Procter & Gamble, GE Aviation, the United
States Air Force, Ethicon Endo Surgery (a Johnson & Johnson company), CDI, Belcan, Sheffer Corporation,
and OPW Fueling Components.
