Innovative Manufacturing Club president collaborates with the Technology Student Association
The polytechnic campus's Innovative Manufacturing Club lends a helping hand to the Technology Student Association!
During the TSA's state of Kansas competition a few weeks ago, the club was challenged by TSA advisor, Carolyn Cole, to design and create a 3D printed object with the TSA logo on it. In less than one hour, club president Tyler Montgomery finished a fun 3D printed keychain (in purple, of course). This is another example of how our students' education is practiced in the professional world.
Pictured left to right: Dustin Keiswetter, engineering technician at K-State Polytechnic; Carolyn Cole, Kansas TSA advisor; and Tyler Montgomery, senior, and Innovative Manufacturing Club president.
