Engineering Exploring Post

Please check out this “once-in-a-lifetime” chance to become a member of the John Deere Engineering Exploring program.  

Exploring is a co-ed program open to students that are between the ages of 14 – 20 of whom have completed the eighth grade.  The purpose of the Engineering & Technology Exploring program is to provide you with information about careers in all types of engineering, to answer any questions you may have regarding the profession, and to participate in hands-on projects demonstrating engineering principles.  This post will meet once a month, for two to three hours, with occasional off-site activities and learning opportunities as they arise.

Explorers will be introduced to a wide array of engineering departments and meet some of the respective engineers that work in those departments.  Activities will include introduction to CAD (Computer- Aided Drafting), 3-D modeling of components & assemblies, and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing).  You will also be introduced to the Virtual Reality Lab and how this will change the way that engineers design machines in the future.  There will be many hands-on projects that the John Deere team will create for you to master.
