Manufacturing Engineering Technician Students Present to County Cider Company

April 23, 2015

Congrats to Manufacturing Engineering Technology students Mac Calwell, Steve Mullin and Russell Brown for receiving 1st ($1,500), 2nd ($1,000) and 3rd ($500) place cash prizes for their design presentations to County Cider Company yesterday. Through an applied research project, students and faculty have worked closely with the local cider producer to evaluate their machining operations and recommend process improvements to increase productivity and flexibility. The initiative is made possible through Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), as well as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), marking the College’s first NSERC award.
