Industrial and manufacturing engineering students pour molten cast iron at 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit in the Factory for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) Lab. The metal casting area of the lab provides opportunities for students to gain “gloves-on” experience by undertaking the molding and casting themselves, under the direction of a skilled technician and teaching assistant.
