Bemidji State University, Northland College and eight other community and technical colleges have teamed together as part of a Center of Excellence in Manufacturing and Applied Engineering which has been named 360°. The goal of 360° is to provide new educational routes for students to pursue while bringing industry and education together to help us stay competitive on a global scale.
By developing strong ties with K-12 education, 360°, will help students develop strong math and science skills and engage their creativity in manufacturing through “hands-on” learning activities. Applied research activities will offer opportunities for students and faculty at the university and colleges to design and employ best practices to stay ahead of the competition.
