For this week’s Design World Technology Tuesdays Podcast, I spoke with Peter Dettmer, Co-program Director for Automated Manufacturing Systems Technology at Madison Area Technical College in Madison, WI. We spoke about one of the biggest challenges to recruiting young people into the manufacturing industry; reshaping the image of manufacturing from a dirty, greasy job in a factory to the 21st century reality of the clean, modern manufacturing facility with robots working alongside humans. You can read the full story of Madison College’s automated manufacturing program here.
