A number of students this semester are taking a competency called Manufacturing Processes with Bart Johnson. As a part of this class, we study different methods of manufacturing different products. We have studied plastics manufacturing, composite materials, one of a kind production, and clean room manufacturing.
After doing research on clean room manufacturing, we toured Medtronic yesterday, April 30th. Medtronic utilizes clean room manufacturing for producing medical devices, and observing this first hand was beneficial for our understanding as a class. Our tour was set up by a Gen 1 IRE graduate, Erin Lamke, who is now an engineer at Medtronic. We were able to talk to a Manufacturing Engineer with the company, and ask many questions about their processes. Overall, the tour was very beneficial for our learning, and for future employment considerations.
