Students were then divided into smaller groups and visited our Technical Center where our engineers demonstrated our manufacturing technologies and gave them an opportunity to weld, mark and cut sample product using resistance welders and lasers. Then we had lunch with the engineers so students could ask questions

Betts Company hosted two tours. The first tour was for Fresno City College students and the second tour saw 25 students from local high schools visiting. Around 4-5 out of that group represented their high school robotics program. The remainder were interested in pursuing careers in various engineering fields. The students were very engaged, asking questions of our tour guides and taking photos throughout the tours. One of the main highlights for both tours was the opportunity to speak with one of our Springs engineers, Michael Thibert. The kids had been studying SolidWorks software and were intrigued to see how it is used in ‘real life’.
