Dream Team Favors Big Red Engineers
Nebraska Advanced Manufacturing Coalition
(NAMC) announced its 2007 Nebraska Career
Dream Team in November, honoring 12 young
professionals with several from UNL College of
Engineering, including:
- Max Porter, B.S. AGEN '07, a design engineer
with Behlen Manufacturing Co.
- Chad Essink, a December 2007 graduate with
a B.S. in mechanical engineering, and now an
intern with Square D/Schneider Electric.
The honorees lunched with Governor Dave
Heineman at the governor's residence. "You
represent our best and brightest," Heineman said.
"It's important that you share your message about
the great opportunities in Nebraska." The Dream
Team members were also featured during Husker
football pregame interviews on the Husker Sports
Network.
The Career Dream Team members represent
young adults who have had successful pathways
to manufacturing and related careers. All were
nominated by their companies as examples of
talented individuals with outstanding education
and skills for today's high-tech careers. Their
presence promotes the NAMC's participation in
the Dream It. Do It. campaign, highlighting skilled
workforce opportunities in Nebraska.
