The 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Manufacturing and Design podcast series<\/a> takes students, educators and professionals through the latest in technology.\u00a0 Hosted by my colleagues, John Milbery and Michael Buchli, this month features two innovative manufacturing education programs at the community college and high school level.<\/p>\n

\"\"Lynette Frey, long time SOLIDWORKS advocate, is now at Southeast Community College in Milford Nebraska.\u00a0 Lynette\u2019s goal for her students is to be problem solvers and a resource for their employers.\u00a0 In SCC\u2019s\u00a0 manufacturing engineering program, Lynette prepares students to be critical thinkers that our SOLIDWORKS commercial customers require. \u00a0I was fortunate to visit the Omaha, NE and Lincoln, NE SOLIDWORKS Users Groups and the connection between educators, students, and companies is stronger than ever. You can hear from Lynette here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the high school level, Paul Clinton, Ross Erikson, and team from Cherry Creek Innovation Campus in Colorado, have taken their 20+ years of experience to transform technology education and fully incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) to prepare their students for both college\/university and the skilled workforce.\u00a0 The Cherry Creek team has been an integral part of SOLIDWORKS World and 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE World, highlighting their achievements in SOLIDWORKS Certification, Student Competitions, and Job Placement.\u00a0 You can listen to Paul and Ross here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now is truly an exciting time for manufacturing! Throughout these 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE podcasts, you can listen to Aaron Kaufman<\/a>, of Gas Monkey Garage TV show.\u00a0 OK, full disclosure; I do like Ford\u2019s versus Chevy\u2019s, so Aaron is one of my heroes.\u00a0 Sticking with vehicles, you can also hear from Jim and Mike Ring of RingBrothers<\/a> that make some of the coolest cars on the planet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about cars and trucks, make certain you listen<\/a> to the two Scott\u2019s from MetalQuest Unlimited to find out more about robotics and innovative automation.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for the next podcast<\/a> on 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE World.<\/p>\n
