The Junior class went on a field trip to the Lee Company in Westbrook where they were exposed to hydraulic Plug Design as well as Screen Manufacturing, Check Valve Design and Manufacturing, and Machine Engineering.

The students also got to take a short tour of the Early Manufacturing Museum that the Lee Company hosts in one of its 13 buildings. On the tour, students got to see a hydrogen fuel cell in action as well as got to see rocket engines from the Saturn Rockets and even engines from the Apollo missions.

A special thanks to the men and women of the Lee Company for showing our students exactly what it means to be an engineer in our modern day and age. We certainly learned a lot while on the trip!
