Fitzgerald, Acero's president and CEO – and a member of the college's Automated Manufacturing and Machining Advisory Committee. “We love the opportunity to show off our state-of-the-art facilities and all the hard work our team has put in to keep American manufacturing alive and well." Students from a variety of majors were accompanied by faculty members Paul W. Albright and Krishna C. Vistarakula, instructors of manufacturing engineering technology; and Shane A.
