Conclusion
..Thank you for the excellent work that you and your students did on
the project. While it was a learning experience for us, Im sure your
students gained much more by seeing the classroom applied to the shop
floor. It is rare to find an academician that is as comfortable on the shop
floor as you are. This attribute helps not only the client using the service,
but also the student, as it shows the student how it should be done in the
real world.
I believe the partnership between a public university and private industry
is extremely important as it enables the businesses in the State of Ohio to
enjoy the fruits of a great institution of higher learning. The way to make
manufacturing in Ohio competitive into the future is to do just what we
did, apply academic principles to the practical world on the shop floor.
We are on our way to becoming more profitable and competitive thanks to
the work your team did at Company X...
