May Stanford Month at Airtronics
The Airtronics-Stanford partnership went into full swing last month, with Airtronics hosting a class tour, starring in a professor’s video, and assisting graduate students with a design project. The action kicked off with a tour of our facility by the “Magic of Materials and Manufacturing” class. Judging by the students’ enthusiasm during the tour, the smart questions they asked, and the follow-up essays they wrote, the experience was a rewarding one for all. (Photo courtesy of Tim Wong)
“They were mesmerized,” said Professor David Beach, who returned to Airtronics later that week to video the punching, robotic forming, masking, painting, hardware and final assembly of blank end panels for Networking Equipment Chassis. He will edit the footage this summer and use the final 5-7 minute video (as a “virtual field trip”) in his “Design & Manufacturing” and “Magic of Materials” classes. Narration will be provided by Airtronics President and CEO Jeff Burke, who also provided Professor Beach with 30 chassis end panels to hand out in class before showing the video.
