“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
