following proposal to our board of directors: |

• Texas State University will select 2 to 4 students to participate in this program. Student selection will be under the guidance of Dr. Robert Habingreither. Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, College of Science at Texas State University. The program was presented at the San Marcos AFS Meeting on February 29th, 2008. • This co-op will be a “hands on” introduction to the Foundry Industry. Students will be introduced to molding, core making, melting, cleaning room, and any modeling programs used by the participating foundries. • There will be a written evaluation of the student’s performance, upon completion of the program. No college credit will be given for this program. |
