EW Manufacturing Alliance members asked higher
education partners, "How can we work together on
engineering talent? We need more "hands-on"
skilled engineering talent that can solve process challenges,
work with operations to improve efficiencies, and integrate
new technologies."
Northeast Wisconsin Educational Resource Alliance (NEW
ERA), whose members are the 12 colleges and universities in
northeast Wisconsin, responded.
Today, there are over 100 students who are committed to
earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology -
Mechanical, Electrical, or Environmental. Three new
Bachelor of Science degrees in Engineering Technology,
right here in northeast Wisconsin!
One of the great benefits of the program is that students can
start anywhere—Northeast Wisconsin Technical College,
Fox Valley Technical College, Moraine Park Technical
College, Lakeshore Technical College, UW-Fond du Lac,
UW-Sheboygan, UW-Fox Valley, UW-Manitowoc, College
of Menominee Nation, UW-Green Bay or UW-Oshkosh.
Students are awarded their Bachelor of Science in
Engineering Technology from either UW-Green Bay or
UW-Oshkosh.

(UW-Fox Valley)
"I am very fortunate to have had the
opportunity to graduate from
Brillion High School, and to be part
of a supportive community. After
graduating high school I worked at
the Ariens Company in the
fabrication department for a
summer. While I was there I had the privilege to work
alongside many people on the factory floor and experience how
hard they work and their job knowledge.
My decision to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering
Technology solidified as I was given another opportunity to
work, this time at Miller Electric. I have had the privilege to
work at Miller Electric as a summer student for the past three
summers. Becoming an engineer would give me the opportunity
to work alongside the production employees, communicating
with them, and building relationships with them.
I am finishing my final semester at UW-Fox Valley and will be
transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in the
spring of 2016 to finish my degree in Mechanical Engineering
Technology."
