Students in Applied Engineering & Technology Management have been designing and manufacturing plastics recycling equipment in Osburn Hall. Seen here at “Made in Millersville” these students are describing their design and manufacturing experience during the Spring 2022 semester. Working with Dr. Alex Johnson, Dr. Chuck Stricker, and Dr. Dominick Manusos; these students have been using a combination of open-source and custom designs to update an existing plastics shredder, manufacture a plastics extruder, and design and manufacture a large capacity single-shot injection molding machine. These efforts have been mostly funded by a Positive Energy Grant obtained by Dr. Manusos and Dr. Johnson; and partially funded by the AEST Department.
