Because of an urgent need for
technically trained personnel in the rubber industry, Ferris'
Rubber Engineering Technology program was started in 1998. Many
companies compete for graduates as Ferris' rubber program is the
only one in the United States.
The rubber industry, working with
the State of Michigan, generated over $7 million to create the
National Elastomer Center here at Ferris, with state-of-the-art
laboratories and classrooms. Many companies donate equipment and
materials, make on-campus presentations and sponsor field trips
to their facilities.
Out-of-state students will
receive in state tuition rates as part of a University grant
through 2006.
