The broad array of engineering disciplines covered within the Manufacturing
Engineering program provides an excellent opportunity to be well prepared
for the field of Manufacturing Engineering as well as it generates a good
foundation for which to branch out to other engineering fields if that
is so desired. With an excellent balance of theoretical groundwork and
hands-on labs/project oriented classes I've been able to enter the "real-world" with
great confidence fed not only by the curriculum but also from the fact
that many of the staff bring invaluable knowledge and experience from industry
to this program.

I'm a project manager in charge of Civil Engineering projects. An interesting
project I'm managing is the 10V Cryogenic Chamber. We're building a test facility
to test satellites. We'll place satellites in this chamber, vacuum out all
oxygen and run liquid nitrogen through the walls to simulate conditions in
deep space.
The reason I'm writing is simple. I really enjoyed my time at Stout. The school has a lot going for itself. I enjoyed the classes; the hands on approach to engineering and most importantly, the student/faculty relationship. I liked the fact that professors knew my name and I was able to talk to them one on one.
