Roll-Kraft hosts student for day of engineering education
Mentor, OH. (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
Roll-Kraft recently welcomed a student from a nearby school to spend a day at the company shadowing a Roll-Kraft engineer. The student was 6th grader, Evan Ditchman. Evan had expressed an interest in engineering as a possible career option. His day at Roll-Kraft allowed a close-up look at engineering in a manufacturing environment.
Roll-Kraft Engineering Manager, Steve Zienka, went through his regular day while being shadowed by Evan and explained and illustrated the overall activities of an engineer within the Roll-Kraft organization. The day included a one-on-one plant tour with an explanation of the products manufactured at Roll-Kraft, a look at the engineering design software, and an observation of the interactions between the various company departments, including manufacturing, sales, and also with the customer directly.
Roll-Kraft has been in business since 1963 and manufactures tooling for the tube & pipe and roll forming industries.
