Denso’s North American Foundation has donated nearly $1 million in college and university grants to 22 institutions and educational programs across the country.
The funds will benefit programs that provide hands-on learning opportunities in areas from robotics and thermodynamics to design and materials development.
“Innovation throughout the manufacturing industry will continue to produce more growth opportunities for students in skilled trades and technical fields,” said Doug Patton, president of the Denso North America Foundation and executive vice president of Engineering at Denso International America, Inc. “Companies will lean on this young workforce for years to come, and in order to succeed we need to empower students by giving a better sense for what they’ll experience in the workplace.”
