MPIF’s Outreach Program continues to promote metal powders to future engineers
The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) has shared that its Industry Development Board is continuing with its University Outreach Program. Launched earlier this year, the Outreach Program provides an opportunity to engage with future engineers in their own educational environment. It enables representatives from the metal powder industry to showcase the range of metal powder technologies.
At the latest event, Scott Davis of Hoeganaes Corporation and Stefan Joens of Elnik Systems, LLC, led sessions at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. They presented three classes discussing Manufacturing, Manufacturing Systems, and Design of Machine Elements.
The feedback from the students and professors was reportedly very positive. They remarked that they appreciated the industry providing a first-hand look at what the metal powder sector has to offer.
Upcoming Outreach Program visits include the University of Texas at El Paso and Purdue University, Indianapolis.
