GET INVOLVED: Are you a manufacturing professional?

We are seeking manufacturing professionals with at least one engineering degree to participate in an interview about experiences in your work where you’ve been creative or considered social aspects of your work (e.g. considering environmental impacts, health impacts, or economic and education opportunities). This research will inform educational content for students related to creativity and social impact in manufacturing jobs. Each participant will receive $100 for their time! Click here to submit your interest.

The investigators are Daniel Cooper, Shanna Daly, Sarah Crane, Miguel Funes, and Albert Shih of the University of Michigan.
