DaimlerChrysler Honors Educators During National Engineers Week
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 18 -- DaimlerChrysler
Senior Vice President of Engineering Technologies Bernard Robertson will honor
20 Michigan educators with a Contribution to Engineering Award during National
Engineers Week (NEW). The awards are for the educators' contributions in
guiding students toward a career in engineering. They will be presented at a
special luncheon on February 26 at the DaimlerChrysler Technical Center in
Auburn Hills. DaimlerChrysler is a national sponsor of NEW.
"Industry and society face growing technical and environmental challenges
that will need to be met by qualified engineers," said Robertson, Michigan
Chairperson of National Engineers Week. "The more students who can experience
the excitement of engineering, the more who may choose that career path and
ultimately apply their skills to our common challenges."
For DaimlerChrysler, those challenges are daunting. Although it is a
world leader in vehicle safety, efficiency, emission control, manufacturing,
product quality and design, the company continues to strive to improve its
products. "Highly educated and motivated engineers are vital to our
technological leadership. We depend on them to sustain our future," Robertson
said.
The near future will yield vehicles powered by alternate fuels that rely
increasingly on sophisticated electronic control, and are more efficiently
manufactured. All of these major impending changes require a massive input of
technical skill.
National Engineer's Week is designed to give students an early sense of
the challenges, benefits, and fun of engineering. Throughout the week,
corporate sponsors around the nation will invite students into their
engineering facilities to see product development in action. DaimlerChrysler
will be hosting students from 14 metropolitan Detroit schools at four
different facilities, including the DaimlerChrysler Technical Center in Auburn
Hills, the Sterling Stamping plant in Sterling Heights, and the Plymouth Road
Office Complex and Mack Avenue engine plant, both in Detroit.
