Ferris State University College of Engineering Technology

Working Together and Creating Solutions

Luke Hedman, Program Coordinator of Product Design Engineering Technology, teamed up with the College of Pharmacy to create an equipment solution in the Makerspace. The Makerspace is a lab full of 3D printers and other equipment for creators, such as a soldering station, sewing machine, glo-forge, and so much more!
