UT’s College of Engineering Excel Students Visit Gerken
Students from the University of Toledo College of Engineering’s Excel program visited The Gerken Companies recently to learn about the ready-mix concrete business. Quality control experts Todd Baugher (M&R Ready Mix, Inc.) and Matt Sommers (Kuhlman Corporation) presented to the class. Students received hands-on experience mixing concrete, and UT research assistant Anna Younkman demonstrated performing a compressive strength test.
The Excel initiative aims to increase recruitment, enrollment, retention, and success among underrepresented minority students in the College of Engineering’s degree programs.
