EMJ Metals…looking to fill a spot in Cleveland as one of our guys that is retiring at the end of this year (he may extend into 2015 a bit). The spot is for a Regional Tech Director/Metallurgist/Quality position (we have 3 in the company). Needs to be good with customers… a masters is not necessary and we will consider right out of school (prefer 2-5 year experience, but that is not mandatory)

Michigan Tech Nominates Two for Goldwater Scholarships
Michigan Tech has nominated two students, Alexandra Glover and Caleb Vogt, for Goldwater scholarships.
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by Congress in 1986 in honor of former senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. The scholarship is considered the premier undergraduate award for students pursuing degrees in science, math and engineering.
Glover is majoring in materials science and is conducting research under the direction of Associate Professor Joshua Pearce (MSE/ECE). Her work focuses on sustainable development, scientific instrument design and testing, and 3D printing. In particular, she is interested in developing an aluminum alloy for 3D metal printers. Glover is a coauthor on three publications and has a fourth in review.
