Last year we really focused on STEM with our building asks as a system and we were happy to be a part of that. We need to focus on the technicians to accompany the scientists who will be served by the science buildings which were successful last year.
Net additional 600 students with growth potential in certain fields and expanded space
We will also be offering the gen ed necessary to complete these programs and/or transfer
These programs strengthen our response in the Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative which led to the federal Manufacturing Communities designation Utah recently earned. They are also supportive of the UCAP grant we have received 403k from DWS and USHE to serve the Aerospace initiative state-wide.
Testers = testers, samplers, inspectors, sorters = Quality control technicians
