I'd like my daughter to learn this promising field


Dear Sir:

I have just returned from Germany, where I learned to operate SLA equipment. The technology has impressed me, and I'd like my daughter to learn this promising field of industry.

She has finished art school and now she is in the last grade of a high school. Could you tell me where she can get higher education in Rapid Prototyping? Is it possible to get a grant for education?

Best regards,
HK



Dear HK:

Please take a look at our web-site. You may find it useful both for your daughter and for your own work.

There are a number of programs for education in RP here in the US, as well as in Europe. You may find a lot of information on some of them by looking at the pages on our site regarding university programs. The many links there will take you to a number of them that describe their research and also their educational programs. In general, the RP aspect of education is taken as part of a basic engineering education to give the student a broad enough appreciation of the field to understand the applications and requirements. There probably are some financial assistance packages, and maybe some that are especially oriented towards the countries of eastern Europe where you are located. Some of the university web pages describe their financial assistance programs.

I would say that if your daughter is interested in this field, she should plan on getting a basic engineering education so that she will have wider opportunity, and perhaps specializing in the field by courses, thesis work, etc. She may not have to become a graduate engineer, (although that's good), but she will probably need at least a couple of years of schooling to be well-rounded enough.

Please take a look at some of the universities in the directory on our site, and after doing that let me know in more detail your needs and maybe I can help further.

Best regards,

Ed Grenda
