Not only did we get to shake hands with President Obama, but he held up CCAM as an example of the manufacturing innovation and collaboration that can happen when best-in-class manufacturers partner with top universities to accelerate development and commercialization of new technologies.

We are currently seeking Directors of Economic and Workforce Development and leaders in Manufacturing Systems, Surface Engineering, and Modeling and Simulation in support of our research agenda (see right for details). Please stay tuned for more monthly updates from CCAM!
