John Deere Dubuque Works is excited to offer a program to provide students with information about careers in many types of engineering, answer questions you may have regarding the profession, and allow you to participate in hands-on activities demonstrating engineering principles.

Explorers will be introduced to a wide array of engineering disciplines and some of the engineers that work in those disciplines. Activities will include introductions to Customer-focused Design, Product Testing, Manufacturing, 3D modeling CAD (Computer Aided Design), Engineering Mathematics, Virtual Reality, and Software.
