Plant Tours Plant tours serve the purpose of providing students with a glimpse of the manufacturing environment. Our tours are structured to allow ample time for question and answer sessions with plant personnel. There are occasions in which a detailed write-up of the tour is required as part of a course assignment. The selection of plant sites to visit is made in a manner that will expose students to a wide variety of products, methods, and technologies. Plant trips conducted by DCMME during the last year include the following:
Digital Audio Disk Corporation – Compact Disc Manufacturer
Frito-Lay – Snack Food Manufacturer
Logo 7 – Sportswear Company
McGill Manufacturing – Bearing Plant
Monon Corporation – Semi Trailer Plant
Nucor Steel – Steel Producer
