Manufacturing Day and Month needs your help in collecting
surveys! In 2018, 5,075 students went on industry tours during Manufacturing Day,
but only 24% students completed and turned in their surveys. During
Manufacturing Day and Month, FLATE collects data from surveys completed by
students, teachers, and manufacturers. The Manufacturing Day surveys gives
feedback on how industry tours can be improved and gives us an insight on what
students think about manufacturing fields. In 2018, we saw how big of an impact
the tours had on students when results showed that there was a 77% additional
growth for students considering a career in advanced manufacturing after taking
an industry tour. Some of the additional comments students wanted to share
were, “This was the most interesting field trip I have been on,” and, “I was happy to have the opportunity to go on
this tour and I would like to receive a job at one of these manufacturing
facilities once I reach the designated requirements.”
In addition, by completing the Post-Teacher and Parent
Survey, we can learn more about how teachers prepared students for the tour,
more information on the students, and receive detailed feedback on the impact
the tour had on both students and teachers. For instance, in 2018 97% of
teachers and parents were able to see how STEM subjects were put to work in
high tech industries and 100% recommended that other students have an
opportunity to take an industry tour.
We also would love to hear feedback from Manufacturers to
learn more about the tour and the perspective of the industry. The Post Tour
Host Survey will help us view the in-kind contributions, the effectiveness of
Manufacturing Day student tours, and see any opportunities your facility offers
to the next generation of workers.
How to Access and Return Post Tour Manufacturing Day Surveys
Visit http://flate.pbworks.com or search “FLATE Wiki” to visit FLATE’s PB Wiki Page and select the tour bus on
the front page. You should see a banner with the Manufacturing Day logo at the
top and, on the side, you will see a navigational bar. Select “MFG Day Surveys”
and click on either the “Online survey” or the “Printable Survey”. If you
choose to complete the survey by paper, please be sure to complete a “Cover
Sheet” for each tour your students went on. For instance, if you took two
different groups of students to SMT, you would need to complete a cover sheet
for both of those tours. We recommend that you take the cover sheet with you on
the tour so the tour guide can help you complete the “Industry” portion of the
sheet. In addition, you can take the student surveys with you on the tour to
ensure an allotted time to complete the survey. Online surveys can be accessed by
a cell phone or computer by following the first steps above or visiting this link!
Remember!! Online surveys are an eco-friendly and fast-paced way to turn in surveys and allows students to complete the survey at any time!
