Manufacturing Day: Putting Industry on Display - Open houses show technologies and opportunity students and community members

摘要

You've heard the litany of problems. Manufacturing is going away. Manufacturing can't keep up with foreign competition. Manufacturing doesn't provide good career opportunities. Manufacturing isn't safe. Manufacturing won't ever attract young people. Yes, manufacturing has had-and still has-its challenges. But those blanket statements, simply put, are wrong. They are misconceptions voiced by people who don't know today's manufacturing or the passion and tenacity of those involved with it. The true challenge has been-and still is-educating the members of every community about manufacturing's reality by showing them what goes on behind the walls and telling them how technology has changed the way industry functions.
