🚀 Building the future of engineering starts with strong partnerships.
We were honored to join Shaw Industries in welcoming Dr. Asaf Varol, the new Shaw Industries Chair in STEM to Dalton State College. A special thank you to Shaw for establishing and sustaining the Shaw Industries Chair in STEM, an investment that continues to strengthen STEM education, student success, and workforce development at DSC.
Thank you as well to Shaw for hosting us at the Shaw Design Center and for their ongoing commitment to creating opportunities for the next generation of engineers.
Dr. Varol shared an inspiring vision centered on hands-on, industry-connected learning through internships, undergraduate research, capstone projects, plant visits, and expanded opportunities in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence. We are excited to see how Dr. Varol's efforts will continue enhancing engineering experiences, supporting student success, and building the engineering talent pipeline to meet our partner's needs.
Here's to innovation, collaboration, and the future of engineering at Dalton State! ⚙️🔬🤖
