\u201cI appreciated the opportunity to tour Wolfgang Confectioners because it gave me insight into how large-scale manufacturing environments operate,\u201d Mechanical Engineering major Habiba Abouelnagah \u201928 said. \u201cIt was interesting to see how consistency, efficiency, and quality are maintained throughout production. As someone interested in going into manufacturing, this experience gave me a better understanding of how engineering supports large-scale production.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The trip was organized by Etown Engineering Club student leaders Keagan Kinney \u201926 and Justin Cedeno \u201926, with assistance from club advisor and Associate Professor of Engineering, Dr. Jean Batista Abreu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe visit to Wolfgang Confectioners provided Etown Engineering students an opportunity to learn more about the professional industry and how engineering can be applied to any realm of life, including the food we consume,\u201d Cedeno said.<\/p>\n
