Gosiger Automation was among the companies invited to meet with College of Engineering and Computer Science students and faculty during Manufacturing Week.<\/p><\/div>\n

Students in Wright State University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a> met with local employers during Manufacturing Week, Sept. 27\u2013Oct. 1.<\/p>\n

Representatives of GE Aviation, Gosiger Automation, Magellan Aerospace and Silfex were invited by the college to connect with students in the Russ Engineering Center.<\/p>\n

The companies were invited to campus to promote careers in manufacturing and market their companies by connecting with engineering and computer science students and faculty members.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Week also provided an opportunity for Wright State faculty members to show the companies how well-prepared students are when they graduate from the College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

The week concluded with a town hall for local employers, who toured the college’s facilities and discussed with Wright State faculty members opportunities to enhance their relationship and collaborations with higher education.<\/p>\n

“Through the visit, we were able to demonstrate what type of training our students go through in advanced manufacturing in a laboratory setting. This industry-academia interaction is very valuable in adjusting the curricular training if needed,” said Ahsan Mian, Ph.D. professor of mechanical engineering<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subhashini Ganapathy, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of biomedical, industrial and human factors engineering<\/a>, said Manufacturing Day offered the college a chance to promote students in bachelor’s degree program in industrial and systems engineering and the humans and systems track in industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.<\/p>\n

“We are looking forward to working with the industry to prepare our students with best-in-class technologies,” Ganapathy said.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers, said Sheryl Kent, career consultant for the College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

“Participating manufacturers across the country typically hold open houses to spotlight the wide range of high-skill, high-pay career opportunities available in contemporary manufacturing facilities and to highlight manufacturing’s vital role in national and regional economies,\u201d Kent said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
