• Your World Class Manufacturing course is great
  for students because it shows them what is
  available when they graduate. Touring Hayssen
  and other companies gives them a diversity of
  experience. Even if some students do not go into
  industry or engineering, they will be better for
  gaining such knowledge. I wish that there had
  been a class like yours at my high school, and I
  think it would be great if every high school
  student had such an opportunity.
