3 DEAR TEACHER, Dream It. Do It. Minnesota is a campaign dedicated to changing the perception of manfactring and providing advanced manfactring career information. Along with 360, a manfactring-based Center of Excellence, we have created this gide to promote manfactring as an innovative field that ses advanced technology to effectively create the prodcts for today and the ftre. We also know that the indstry offers great career opportnities. We want stdents to be aware of the opportnities manfactring can offer them. We also want this gide to be relevant and sefl to yo, so in each chapter we have inclded applicable edcational standards, inclding science and technology, and teaching objectives. We ve also inclded information yo can se as talking points, things stdents can listen for in the videos, and activities designed to engage stdents different learning styles. Manfactring is the backbone of Minnesota s economy. In fact, according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, Minnesota has more than 307,200 manfactring careers statewide. Manfactring contribtes $43.7 billion to the state economy. The average manfactring salary is arond $59,000. Many top manfactring brands are based in Minnesota, inclding Land O Lakes, General Mills, and Cargill. This is jst a little bit of the information we ve developed for yo to share with yor stdents, and we hope yo find this gide and disc to be effective tools in sharing manfactring information in yor classroom. We also encorage yo and yor stdents to check ot Minnesota s Dream It. Do It. website at dreamitdoitmn.com, which is fll of p-to-date information abot manfactring careers. If yo have any comments or qestions, please contact s. Sincerely, Karen White Exective Director 360 Jaimee Meyer Exective Director Dream It. Do It. Minnesota

5 5 CHAPTER ONE WHAT IS MANUFACTURING? HOW TO DEFINE MANUFACTURING: According to O*NET, manfactring involves: Planning, managing, and performing the processing of materials into intermediate or final prodcts and related professional and technical spport activities sch as prodction planning and control, maintenance, and manfactring/process engineering. IN SHORT, MANUFACTURING IS MAKING STUFF. Manfactring has a range of fields, inclding designing machinery, developing prodcts, knowing how to fix robots, working in software, and developing green technology. Later in this gide, we ll provide career information abot the many fields in manfactring. We make, or help make, or help or cstomers make, pretty mch anything... The range of what we can do is endless. Rebecca Gramse, MRG Tool and Die Faribalt, MN MANUFACTURING REQUIRES SKILL AND ABILITY: DO YOU LIKE... FIXING CARS, SNOWMOBILES, OR BIKES? ROBOTICS? ASSEMBLING MODELS? BUILDING WITH LEGOS? SOLVING PUZZLES? These skills, and more, all relate to manfactring being able to visalize, design, program all of those are skills yo se to develop prodcts. Jst think, instead of fixing a car, yo cold design the parts for a car. The manfactring indstry reqires other areas of expertise too, offering careers from cstomer service to marketing to finance.

STUDENTS: Complete Chapter 1, Activity 2, What is Manfactring? The Manfactring Cycle. REALITY VS. PERCEPTION: QUOTABLE Often, when we think of manfactring, we think of how it was in the Indstrial Revoltion, bt that s not what manfactring is today. Now, manfactring ses technology and robotics it s clean, safe, and innovative. Additionally, while there is a lot of talk abot manfactring jobs moving overseas, there are many manfactring companies who have stayed and will contine to stay in the United States. The reasons are many, inclding being able to better manage intellectal property and qality control things that affect the overall cost. Today s manfactring jobs are all abot being innovative and creative to meet consmer needs like yo hear abot in the videos. Manal eqipment is the eqipment that sits in the corner now. We have gone to CNC and that is all yo will do, and the machine tools are very, very high-tech machine tools. Seth Anderson, Doglas Machine EXERCISE 1.
