Engineer Alert ASCO Numatics Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships
Engineer Alert ASCO Numatics Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships Photo by McLaren Photographic LLC via Flickr Other than majoring in engineering, students are also considered for the scholarship based on their potential for leadership and for making a significant contribution to the industrial automation engineering profession particularly as it relates to the application of fluid control and fluid power technologies, as stated on the ASCO Numatics Engineering Scholarship website. In addition to the $5,000 scholarship award, ASCO Numatics will also provide $1,000 grants to the engineering departments in which the recipients are enrolled. As another added bonus, this years recipients will attend, like Whitten, the PACK EXPO International, this time in the Windy City: Chicago. Megan Borz, another 2013 recipient of the scholarship from Buena, NJ, said in the 2014 press release that the scholarship paved the way for opportunities she may not have otherwise had due to finances. I have been able to focus more time on my coursework, athletics, applying to graduate schools, and applying for future career opportunities because I did not have the financial stress I had in previous semesters, Borz said. The ASCO Numatics scholarship program has, according to Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing at ASCO Numatics, in the 2014 press release, awarded $60,000 in scholarships to 12 students and another $12,000 in grants to 10 U.S schools engineering departments. Engineers apply creativity and skills to transform innovation into reality, Kemple said. The ASCO Numatics scholarship program applies that same spirit by helping support leading students in their education to become the next generation leaders in industry and technology.รข Whitten agreed that the ASCO representatives were, all really nice, friendly and welcoming, and placed a lot of emphasis on getting to know and wanting to support the next generation of students. He recalled the experience of the scholarship and the PACK EXPO as extremely educating and noted that it piqued his interest of the industrial automation technology field, which he hadnt been entirely immersed in before receiving the scholarship. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2014, and Whitten encourages anyone who believes they may meet the criteria, even if they arent sure if industrial automation is for them, to apply. because, as I said, I didnt really expect that I would win. I think its a good opportunity to not only win some money, which is great, but to also learn about a pretty cool industry, Whitten said. Touching upon industries, I mentioned to Whitten at the end of our conversation that he was, indeed, on the right path to making money, whereas I, as a writer, may have a less certain monetary future. He merely chuckled and reminded me that as long as, were doing something we both love, its good. The truth within this statement cannot be touched on enough, and for all the engineering students out there, the ASCO Numatics Scholarship may just be the stepping stone you need on your journey toward pursuing what you love.
