ubrey Kelley-Cogdell is proof that an early engage- ment in engineering by young women can result in a challenging and rewarding career path. Aubrey holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Biomedical Engineering. As a CAM programmer at Sandvik Coromant’s Aerospace Applications Center, she pushes the limits of carbide cutting tools for machining complex hard metal components for aerospace and power generation applica- tions. The advanced programming techniques she optimiz- es for titanium and nickel-alloy parts save manufacturers thousands of dollars each year.

imberly Jung has parlayed her STEM skills into master- ing the art of robotic programming for Holland High’s FIRST (FRC) Robotics Team 74. In her 18 months in the program, Kim developed a passion for programming, fabri- cation and wiring the robot, and became proficient at writ- ing the control system and monitoring code using National Instruments LABView software. Next fall, Kim will enter Michigan State University’s package engineering program. With AP testing credits for history and English in hand, Kim will take package engineering classes in her first year and will learn about the diversity of materials used and the ecological and economic implications that make package a challenging career.

J
andre TerreBlanche is a prime example of how manufac- turing technology can get into one’s blood. After earning his degree in Mechanical Engineering, cutting his teeth on projects involving internal combustion engines and rocket and gas turbine propulsion, he joined SigmaTEK Systems LLC—a company founded by his father, which provides CAD/CAM nesting software for laser, plasma, waterjet, oxy- fuel and router cutting along with punching, and bending machines. Jandre’s challenge: to learn every aspect of the business and, as technical support manager, build a team of application engineers to maintain a high-level relationship with customers on a technical level.
ret Weber shows how a promising career in manu- facturing can begin as early as the teenage years. Bret began doing utility work at 16 at Geater Machining & Manufacturing. He earned his Associate of Applied Science in machining degree in the EMC2 program at Hawkeye Community College. At GMM, he has progressed through responsibilities including team leader, supervisor, lead CNC programmer and machinist. Bret is one of the more skilled and hardworking employees at GMM and can run most ma- chines including the state-of-the-art FMS Rail system. He established a method for programming the FMS Rail and wrote many of the macros in the background for running lasers and probes.
