Automation is growing today more than ever. With automation comes higher production rates and increased productivity, more efficient use of materials, better product quality, and improved safety. When robots and automation are implemented in a business effectively, they don’t replace jobs. They augment them to drive greater productivity providing new opportunities for tomorrow’s workforce —like you!

For the 2022 Bishop-Wisecarver design contest, students need to create/design an automated process that would be helpful in either the agricultural or packaging industries. Don't miss the deadline of December 14, 2022.

About Manufacturing


0917-BWC-EBlast-Step-Forward-PKan-Image.jpg
“Manufacturing Day, and events like it, change the misconceptions around manufacturing and allow students and community members to see the industry for what it is - a cutting-edge, technology driven field that uses problem-solving to create products that change lives. We have had the privilege of hosting MFG Day every year and each time, we see more and more students come in with one mindset and leave with a different understanding of the field and a vision for what a career in manufacturing could mean for them.”

Pamela Kan, President of Bishop-Wisecarver
