The New Visions Engineering Class of 2024 had an exciting week of learning! They started with a visit to the New Berlin Chobani Factory on March 20th, where they explored the inner workings of yogurt production and the role of engineers in the factory. The day included a warm welcome from Morgan VanAlstine, insights from Nathan Gundlach, Vice President of Operations, and an informative presentation by Isaac Adams. The students also enjoyed a tour of the facility, donning protective gear provided by Chobani, and ended the trip with a delicious lunch and yogurt sampling.
Continuing their journey, on March 27, the class visited Raymond Corporation in Greene, New York. They learned about Raymond's history and products, took a tour led by Lee Moxley, and participated in a panel with Brian Warner, Mike Bishop, Tianran Cui, and Josh Smith. The panel discussed the various engineering roles at Raymond and offered advice for future employment. The students also explored the 3D printing lab before heading home, grateful for the valuable insights into manufacturing and career preparation.
