Shelly Dutler is the curriculum development manager for the Institute at the American Foundry Society, AFS whose career spans seventeen years of involvement in the metalcasting industry. While Shelly was earning her Bachelors of Science in Manufacturing Technology at the University of Northern Iowa, UNI, she entered the metal casting program and met her first and current mentor, attended her first AFS Casting Congress in 1998 as a student "red coat" for the technical sessions, and served as vice chair of the student AFS chapter. After receiving her degree with honors, she accepted a full time position in the Product Engineering Center at John Deere & Company where she was employed for over five years in both the agricultural and engine divisions.
