Northeast Alabama Community College (NACC), an FMA Certified Education Center, has announced that students Amy Hamilton (welder), John Headrick (machinist), and Ryan Rogers (designer) recently earned first place in the Project Manufacturing (Project MFG) state competition, held in Auburn, Ala.
Project MFG is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Defense Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program intended to promote the value of a career in manufacturing trades and accelerate new entrants into the workforce. The Next Generation Manufacturing Challenge Series showcases necessary skills, problem-solving abilities, and technological aptitudes necessary for the success of the next generation of engineers, machinists, welders, programmers, mechanics, and fabricators.
In the three-day competition, interdisciplinary teams are given specifications to build a project that includes CAD, CAM, 5-axis CNC machining, and welding. The focus is on precision, quality, and working together as a team to build a product.
The NACC team is eligible to advance to the regional competition to compete against teams from Louisiana and Mississippi. The winning team then will advance to the national competition, which will be held at IMTS in September.
