Paper ID #11329Development of a Solvent-Based Prepreg TreaterMs. Nikki Larson, Western Washington University After receiving my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Bradley University, I started working for Boeing. While at Boeing I worked to receive my master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis in Materials and Manufacturing. After leaving Boeing I spent several years in equipment research and development at Starbucks Coffee Company. From there I decided my heart lied in teaching and left Starbucks to teach Materials Science Technology at Edmonds Community College. I eventually moved to

The reality reflects an educational philosophy that higher education isexclusively for the development of an educated citizenry, sometimes to the total exclusion ofprofessional career programs. These tensions reflect the attitudes of the prevailing leadershipbased on perceptions of a quality education. As the leadership changes, policies towardtechnology-based programs can be altered dramatically. An increasing number of policymakersand administrators are chosen from disciplines outside technology and engineering fields that areunfamiliar with the importance of manufacturing and its impact on economic development.
