Student Stories
Every year we graduate amazing students who go out and do wonders in industry and academia throughout Minnesota and the rest of the world. Here are their stories:
"I joined the AMET program for several reasons, here are a few. I've always been hands-on, always tinkering, trying to fix and build things. I came from a blue-collar background; a mechanic at one point, and a builder/fabricator at an off-road shop another. I loved the idea of enabling myself with the knowledge of an engineer. The hands-on realistic approach of the AMET program allowed me to utilize my previous years of experience while advancing my methodology. I now strive for solutions that not only make sense to an engineer, but also to the hard workers on the factory floors building products. I highly recommend the AMET program if you're like me and love the STEM field, but don't want to be stuck at a desk all day."
