| MU-TECA Sponsors Toys for Tots Event |
|
| On Friday November 30th the Technology Education Collegiate Association Chapter at Millersville University held its annual Toys-for-Tots event. Each year the student group organizes an evening when anyone on the Millersville campus can come in to help make wooden toys that will be donated to the local Toys-for-Tots organization. This year’s event made 25 wooden ducks that waddle down an inclined plane. Throughout the two-hour event students gave of their time. Approximately 35-40 participants played some part toward making the toys. The students prepared all of the raw material, cut out all of the parts, assembled the ducks, and made the packaging for the final toy. The pictures show examples of students involved in each of these stages of the event. The event was coordinated by one of the group’s faculty advisors, Dr. Scott Warner and a committee of student volunteers. |

Pictured to the left is Millersville's entery in a tele-operated and fully-autonomous robotic manipulator contest. Millersville's entry, the MF-1, was built in Millersville, PA requiring a great deal of research and development. The goal of the competition was for the manipulator to sense and find a magnet in the sand, and place a steel pin with the NAIT logo on it accurately at the location of the magnet.
Please check out the student chapter's Web site to learn more about how you can become involved in this organization at http://marauder.millersville.edu/~nait/. The club is always looking for new faces as it has an exciting year ahead of it.

| Do you know about internships? |
|
|
Industrial internship combines the student's academic, technical and management preparation with actual on-the-job experiences in industrial enterprises. Industrial internships have a significant management component in that students are required to engage in management-related activities such as planning, organizing, directing, and controlling at the workplace. The student, the employer, and the Department of Industry and Technology faculty work cooperatively to assure the internship experience achieves the best possible learning value.
For more information, please see the internship FAQ page. Any questions should be addressed to
Dr. Barry David, Industrial Technology Program Coordinator. |
