Rockford native and Ferris State University Plastics Engineering Technology student Cameron Sawicki is the proud recipient of a $2,500 scholarship made available through a collaborative for industrial giant DuPont Tedlar and the Society of Plastic Engineers Foundation.

Sawicki is a senior and said he will graduate this May with a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in Plastics and Polymer Engineering Technology, accentuated by the excellence of resources and faculty in Ferris’ National Elastomer Center.

“Our program is very well rounded, as we work with the latest in injection molding technology in our labs, then learn to apply that knowledge through instruction from faculty with extensive industry experience,” Sawicki said. “I could not have asked for a better arrangement for my education and career intentions.”

Sawicki said Plastics Engineering was a field that came into focus in his high school days.

“I have to admit entering the program was something of a snap decision,” Cameron said. “I am so glad, as my choice of this degree path has exceeded all my expectations.”

The Plastics Engineering Technology curriculum is part of Ferris’ School of Design and Manufacturing in the College of Engineering Technology. Data gathered by the college notes PET graduate placement is near 100 percent. A recent group of graduates received salaries averaging $68,500 a year that were augmented by generous benefit plans and signing bonuses.

“I have received full-time job offers, but am still considering my options at this point,” Sawicki said.

PET program coordinator Tom Van Pernis, an associate professor, is a 2008 alumnus of the program. He said student recruitment requires more prospect education than in years past, owing to social media misinformation about the plastics industry and its active role in environmental stewardship.

“We are helping students understand they can be agents of positive change, by emphasizing sustainability in their service to the industry,” Van Pernis said. “There are many opportunities to work in the creation of industrial and commercial products, at starting salaries of $70,000 and beyond and Ferris graduates are ‘first choice’ candidates in their hiring processes.”

The DuPont Tedlar Scholarship that was awarded to Sawicki is part of a year-long emphasis to support studies in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Tedlar is a polyvinyl fluoride film that can withstand scuffs, stains, and harsher conditions, with applications ranging from protective clothing to industrial uses. The corporation and the SPE Foundation continue their collaboration in 2024 through targeted educational opportunities for Girl Scouts and students in the vicinity of Tedlar production plants in New York and Ohio.

Van Pernis said Ferris PET students Anthony Audia of Ionia and Ashley Dobbyn of Garden City also received SPE scholarships in the last granting cycle.

Long road trips can spark periods of reflection. Ferris State University Golf coach Sam Stark used a return trip from Ohio to consider how to dress up the course for the men’s programs’ B&R Investments Bulldog Fall Classic.

“It was a random situation. We had competed in a tournament in Findlay, Ohio,” Stark said. “There were tee markers the University of Findlay program had turned out, with the aid of 3-D printers on their campus. As an alumnus of Ferris’ Education program, I was not real familiar with our College of Engineering Technology.”

That familiarity changed.

“Some questions got me lined up with Ferris’ MakerSpace, and assistance from Product Design Engineering Technology assistant professor and program coordinator Luke Hedman,” Stark said.

The tee markers were created and placed as the Bulldog men’s golf squad topped a 16-team field with a four-under-par third round, winning its invitational 16 strokes better than Wayne State. Stark expressed his appreciation for the supportive sponsors and the amenity of campus-created tee markers.

“Brandi Brooks, owner of B&R Investments, has a real affinity for golf and is excited by any opportunity to collaborate and promote our program,” Stark said. “The tee markers are very nice, and we heard many compliments about them from other teams in the field.”

Stark said a critical element of the markers is their sustainable design.

“The centerpieces are interchangeable so that we can have proper years placed on a ring, or if sponsor adjustments come about, those can be addressed,” Stark said. “We are so pleased that these can be kept fresh, with Product Design Engineering Technology students allowed to put their creativity to the test by assisting us.”

Stark said Hedman and his students responded quickly, but in years to come, he hopes to be more forward about generating the next marker for the event, generally held early in an academic year.

“There was a tight timeline based on our discovery and request for 2023,” Stark said. “In the future, we want to build on this general concept and continue a great collaboration. It really shows off the excellence of Ferris State to visitors beyond our state and region.”

More than 325 organizations are ready to engage Ferris State University students on Thursday, Oct. 26, as the Fall 2023 Career and Internship Fair returns to the Student Recreation Center.

Michele Albright, Ferris State’s Career and Professional Success Career Readiness specialist and employer liaison, said a 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. program will focus on College of Engineering Technology students. The focus shifts to College of Business and College of Arts, Sciences and Education students between 3 P.M. and 7 P.M.

Albright said 217 of the 325 organizations on campus are headquartered in Michigan, including many within a 50-mile radius of the Big Rapids campus. There are also companies visiting from 30 states, plus Quebec.

“The large multi-major fairs are a terrific way for students to make connections, observe different types of employers and occupations, and gain confidence talking in person about their career goals and aspirations with recruiters,” she said.

Albright noted that 75 percent of the participating employers have at least one Ferris State alumnus on staff.

“For the past several years, our message to students has included an appreciation of those that open doors to amazing opportunities, to be proud of your Ferris degree, and to create opportunities for other amazing Ferris students trailing behind you,” Albright said.

Preparedness, Albright added, can help students, alumni and others seeking employment opportunities to maximize the event’s benefits.

“We suggest that our students view the employer lists from both sessions, highlighting the ones they are most interested in talking with and plan to visit them first,” she said. “There will be a significant emphasis on businesses, education, healthcare, along with federal and state jobs. It is best to follow “Ferris 360 > Career & Professional Success” for up-to-date event information including which employers are attending and how to prepare for the fair.”

Job seekers have several online resources, such as Handshake, Big Interview, and Resume Worded, to help prepare.

Appropriate dress is another aspect of successful interaction and Albright said information is available at First Lady’s Attic. Interview and resume preparation help are also available, along with career coaching consultation on Navigate. Albright also suggests that taking a broad view of the fair could bring students their best prospects for an internship or career opportunity.

“Employers that attend recruitment fairs are generally seeking students from various concentrations with broad competencies,” Albright said. “Serious job seekers are encouraged to review the employer and recruitment goals for each session and attend either, or both, of them to make as many connections as possible.”

Hundreds of high school students exploring in-demand careers will have an opportunity to go behind the wheel of big rigs and other construction equipment at Ferris State University’s upcoming Diesel Days program.

Planned for Wednesday, Oct. 11, and Thursday, Oct. 12, Diesel Days is a collaboration with Alta Equipment Company. The event includes tours of Ferris State’s Heavy Equipment Center, a classroom experience, breakout sessions, lunch on campus and interactive opportunities in the service bays and tent. There is also an open house for all Ferris students and the public on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Our placement rates and starting salaries for graduates are certainly a reason for any student, in high school or here at Ferris, to get to know more about us,” Heavy Equipment Service Technology Program Coordinator Dan Meyers said.

Meyers, an associate professor in Ferris State’s College of Engineering Technology, said 2023’s Diesel Days will be the largest presentation yet.

“We will set up a 40x120-foot tent outside the Heavy Equipment Center as this year’s displays move beyond static trucks and equipment to a more interactive guest experience for our growing audience,” Meyers said. “Throughout the building and event space, there will be College of Engineering Technology departments and programs doing student outreach. We will have an Automotive Technology tire-changing challenge and participation from many industry partners, ready to show how this study area can lead to career success in their fields.”

Ferris’ Heavy Equipment Service Technology degree is the only Bachelor of Science program in the nation, Meyers noted. He further noted program leaders stress that point to a larger Michigan audience.

“There are school districts and regional training centers that have participated in Diesel Days each year it has been offered. We always reach out to many career centers and high schools,” Meyers said. “From Traverse City to Dowagiac, schools have joined us in the past, there are students from the east side of the state, regularly enrolling who know of our program through word of mouth and our reputation.

Meyers is also excited about Detroit area outreach.

“We are very encouraged about the prospects to give southeastern Michigan full exposure to all that we offer,” he said.
