APPLIED ENGINEERING SYMPOSIUM AT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE TO FOCUS ON INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING STRATEGIES AND RESEARCH

SPRINGFIELD, MA… Western New England College's School of Engineering and the Regional Technology Alliance (RTA) will present the fifth annual Applied Engineering Symposium on Wednesday, May 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Sleith Hall. The event, titled "Academic and Industrial Collaboration: Strategies for Maximizing Benefits for All" is sponsored by the Hampden Engineering Corporation. For more information about the symposium, visit www.regionaltechnologyalliance.com.

Since 1997, the School of Engineering has offered an annual symposium that brings members of industry to campus to discuss engineering issues and learn about areas of research. The event provides an opportunity to strengthen the College's bonds with companies throughout the region who may serve as sponsors of senior project, potential internship sites, or future employers of graduates. The companies benefit by learning how the College can serve as a resource to them.

The Symposium features a variety of concurrent sessions. The luncheon gathering will include a dedication of the School of Engineering Industry Development and Engineering Applications (IDEA) Center.

This year’s symposium "is intended to bring together academic and industrial members of the technical community of western Massachusetts, northern Connecticut and southern Vermont to further embed productive networks of collaborators in technology-based ventures," said Carl Rathmann, dean of the School of Engineering.
