BAE Systems, Land & Armaments Division will host a Plant Tour for the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Birmingham Chapter 143 on December 9th, 2008 at their Anniston, Alabama facility.BAE Systems, known worldwide as "the premier global defense and aerospace company," manufactures vehicles and machinery for Land, Sea, and Air. Paul McIntosh, our chief host and a member of SME for years, serves as a Department Head for a group of Industrial Manufacturing Engineers designing and building land vehicles. He and his associates at BAE are hosting the plant tour in order to share engineering, manufacturing, and production techniques with associate members. According to Paul, "We'll begin at one manufacturing facility, then meet for a brief dinner, then tour another of our facilities."Through its community membership, publications, expos, and professional development resources, SME promotes an increased awareness of manufacturing engineering and keeps manufacturing professionals up to date on leading trends and technologies. The Birmingham membership has recently begun meeting monthly. We've already found ways to help with educational projects, such as the Calera High School "Shop Rat Industrial Program" created and taught by Brian Copes. We also plan to help a Student Chapter form in this area.Several colleges across the state, including Lawson State Community College, have begun to offer students advanced CNC Machining as a curriculum option. Students participating in and graduating from these types of college programs which support manufacturing and machining may find that the support that SME offers them can lead toward future opportunities. LaVada Varner of the Alabama Technology Network works in collaboration with the state of Alabama in order to bring opportunities involved with manufacturing jobs such as these toward fruition.Precision Grinding supports the growth of manufacturing jobs in Alabama, and we are proud to be associated with members of the SME who are targeting the growth in manufacturing products for domestic needs and for exports. If you'd like to know more about the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) please, contact Brian Everling, BrianE@PrecisionGrinding.com .
September 25, 2008Materials Engineering Students from the University of Alabama, Huntsville (UAH) are offered an opportunity to visit and to tour Precision Grinding, Inc., Birmingham Alabama. Together with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, SME, Precision Grinding will discuss CNC Machine Codes for CNC Machining Applications with the students. We're building for today and we're investing in the future! As the world's leading resource for manufacturing information and knowledge, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers promotes an increased awareness of the value of manufacturing among industry professionals and the general public, while introducing young people to exciting career options in the field. Many of these engineering students have never stepped into a Steel Service & Plate Manufacturing facility. As a result of having joined forces with SME, we were able to establish contact with Dr. Sampson Gholston, an engineering Professor at UAH. A steel manufacturer, a strong manufacturing organization, and a technical research and engineering university are working together to help these students from within the State of Alabama to build the foundations for successful entry into a manufacturing economy that can serve businesses across the globe.Manufacturing exportable products are the key to sustaining "an economy for the 21st century." By offering plate cutting services, grinding services, CNC machine services, and steel fabricating services, Precision Grinding supports manufacturers, machine shops & job shops serving industries ranging from steel mills and plywood mills to stamping and die companies serving the Automotive industry, Aerospace, Defense, and major construction projects. According to the State of Alabama's Governor Riley, Alabama is devoted to creating, developing, and operating manufacturing capacity for the economy, for quality high-paying jobs, and for opening our great state to delivering goods across the world.The steel industry is reaching out to help some of these students find that CNC Machine Programming and Machine Shop operations are great careers that will last far into the future. The industry pays well, and the steel industry continues to grow. Steel plate products are the staple products that are required to build the custom machines that produce goods. CNC Machine operators and skilled machinists are today's "toolmakers."We are proud to be a part of helping move Alabama and America forward.
