Manufacturing Day at Polytechnic campus sparks student interest in STEM careers
At the recent Manufacturing Day event, Professor Binil Starly, director of the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, gave high school students a primer on the manufacturing field and the career opportunities it could provide for future engineers and others in STEM fields. The event was presented by Access ASU, ASU Career Services, the Arizona Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the Arizona Department of Education on ASU’s Polytechnic campus, which has a new state-of-the-art manufacturing hub. Starly took the students on a tour of the facility, the ISTB12 building, where ASU students are working on complex manufacturing projects and taking interdisciplinary science courses.
