Garrett Rass saw a whole new side to his major, manufacturing engineering, when he went to the other side of the world during a recent University of Wisconsin-Stout class trip.
The class went to China for 10 days after the spring semester ended. Students learned about international business and manufacturing in ways that they never could have from a book or in a classroom.
A total of 13 students in the Global Manufacturing Tour course saw well-known Chinese cultural and historic sites, but the tours of five large factories and companies made the biggest impressions on class members.
