Student Research Projects

As our students are required to complete a year-long project, we are always looking for "real life" projects suggested by industry. In past years we have completed numerous projects for many major concrete industries. These projects are completed at little or no cost to those that request their completion. If you have an idea for these "blue-collar" research projects contact the Concrete Technology Department at Alpena Community College call 989.358.7460 or 989.358.7364..
