SMTCL-Americas has entered into a partnership with California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, CA. The written agreement provides a commitment from SMTCL to provide equipment to create a Machine Lab for engineering students to manufacture components for class projects and international competitions.
"Cal Poly Pomona students compete with students from prestigious universities throughout the world in designing vehicles," said Clifford Stover MSE PE, Professor, Engineering Director of California State Polytechnic University - Pomona. "Through the state-of-the-art CNC machines and expertise that we will get from SMTCL, we will not only compete better, but we can help prepare our students for the real world of manufacturing."
Jerry McCarty, Chief Operating Officer of SMTCL, explained that there is also a commitment from SMTCL to hire Cal Poly Students. "We have hired our first Cal Poly Pomona Engineering student as an intern. We will provide him training in CNC Machining and Engineering," said McCarty. "We hope to hire a student every year and are looking forward to converting some of them to full-time employees when they graduate. This is a commitment to both our industry and the future of manufacturing in Southern California."
