Living in a world of cutting-edge technology hasn't eliminated the need for turning out-of-this-world concepts into real-world products and then delivering them exactly when they're wanted. This program spotlights three professionals in manufacturing-a robotics technician, a machinist, and a chemical technician-and three professionals who help get products from point A to point Z: a quality manager, a distribution manager, and a dock supervisor. Correlates to all applicable National and State Educational Standards including the NCLB Act.
