Jason Stanis is a former grad student in my Dept. He is now working for Ciber - headquartered in Colorado, but Jason is posted at the large Detroit Office. Although he is in computer science rather than other engineering areas, he still might be a reasonable person to interview at least. Jason and I have been talking, and he expressed an interest in our CPACE project. (Jon Sticklen)

Interim Manager, Government Affairs; |

Focus: HOPE established the Center for Advanced Technologies (CAT) in 1993 to provide those who would not otherwise have the opportunity to obtain degrees and hands-on experience in fields with entry-level jobs. CAT stems from a Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Departments of Defense, Commerce, Education, and Labor, and integrates hands-on manufacturing training and academic learning within a state-of-the-art production setting. Through CAT, Focus: HOPE partners with five universities and six Federal contractors to offer an associate or bachelor of manufacturing engineering technology degree. CAT program participants work on manufacturing and research and development projects--many of which are for the Department of Defense--for General Motors and/or DaimlerChrysler. In 2005, 42 CAT participants graduated with bachelor degrees and 113 CAT participants graduated with associate degrees. At the end of 2005, the average starting salary of a CAT graduate with a bachelor in manufacturing engineering technology degree was $57,000 per year. |

Major new employment initiative in Saginaw/Bay/Midland area. Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation, the world's leading producer of polycrystalline silicon, will begin construction of a $400-$500 million expansion at its Hemlock, Mich. headquarters in December. The expansion is driven by increasing demand for polycrystalline silicon, the cornerstone material used in the production of solar cells used to manufacture renewable energy from light rays and semiconductor device manufacturing.
The Hemlock Semiconductor expansion will increase site capacity by 50 percent, and is expected to generate more than 100-150 full-time direct jobs, and an equal number of contractor positions in the next three years. Additionally, there will be 400 temporary local contractor jobs created during construction of the expansion. Phase one of the two-phase expansion project is expected to be completed in January 2008, with a potential second phase concluding a year later. Hemlock Semiconductor expects the solar energy industry to grow at a 20-25 percent pace over the next 10 years.

Employs about 30 engineers. NASA Innovation Advisor. A frequent speaker and advisor to some of the world's top manufacturing executives on implementing cultural change and integrated product development strategies, Sandy Munro offers his clients a wealth of perspective and a penchant for technology transfer. Although he began his career in the automotive industry and has worked extensively with global automakers and key tier one suppliers, his expertise and insight cuts across virtually every segment of the manufacturing industry.
One of the pioneers in the application of design for assembly (DFA)/design for manufacturability (DFM) principles, Sandy Munro founded his consulting firm, Munro & Associates, Inc., in 1988 to help North American manufacturers harness the power of concurrent engineering/DFM to reach new levels of global competitiveness.
Since that time, Munro & Associates, Inc. has helped manufacturers of all types of products-from airplanes to toys, appliances to medical devices, and automobiles to electronics-to save an estimated $9 billion and retain or return to North America some 65,000 jobs. Also, his company's service portfolio has expanded to include a number of interrelated tools to help manufacturing companies succeed, including ergonomics consulting, competitive benchmarking, strategic product planning, value analysis/value-engineering services, and the Quality Report Card, which can help companies reach six sigma quality levels
