For any program to offer the highest possible education it is very important to keep that program on the cutting edge of technology. Could you be a guest lecturer? What about the donation of classroom videos? Your expertise is very valuable so why not share it with others by becoming a guest lecturer? Maybe you have an idea as to how best to demonstrate a product in a laboratory exercise or how to use a product in the field. Call 989.358.7460 or 989.358.7364 to volunteer your services.

Student Research Projects
Do you have an idea or product that you would like evaluated? How about comparing products as to their performance? Maybe an idea that needs refining? 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..
