ACADEMIC &
GUEST LECTURERS

Surface Finishing is an essential part of the manufacturing process but is often overlooked in academic programs. We aim to change that by providing guest lectures, roundtable discussions, and co-op opportunities.

Experiential Education

Students looking to enter the manufacturing industry can learn from industry experts and gain valuable surface finishing experience in plating & anodizing, quality assurance, laboratory/chemistry, and across other technical and administrative roles.
