FLORENCE, Ala. -K8彩乐园和美国货运汽车公司正在合作，以改善UNA的学生学习环境. FreightCar America最近宣布，它将为UNA的艺术与科学学院提供新的实验室设备，这些设备将成为该学院全新的工程技术项目的一部分.

工程技术是一项为期四年的课程，旨在为学生在工程和制造业的成功职业生涯做好准备. Classes in the program will begin in the fall under the direction of Dr. Peter Rim, the program's director.

Rim表示，FreightCar America的第一份礼物是与文理学院(College of Arts and Sciences)合作的开始，其中包括学生合作项目和其他举措，为UNA学生提供现实世界的经验，并让雇主对这些学生的技能获得信心，这些学生最终将成为有价值的员工.

"This is exactly what we're trying to do with this new program," said Rim. “我们感谢像美国货运汽车公司这样有远见的企业，他们了解这种合作的价值."

新的工程技术课程将着重强调实验课, 哪一个将利用典型的工作场所设备来支持机械和电气工程的核心课程, programming and robotics.

Rim说，最重要的目标是让学生走出去，运用他们在UNA学到的东西, so they're ready to hit the ground running.
