AAM 赞助 Auto STEAM

把快速遥控汽车、陡峭的滑板坡道和兴奋的当地中学生放在一起，会产生怎样的结果？答案是刺激有趣的 AAM 车辆架构课程。

AAM 是首届 Auto STEAM Day 的赞助商和参展商，该活动旨在向学生介绍汽车设计、机器人、制造和技术领域的职业。Auto STEAM 代表汽车、科学、技术、工程、艺术、数学和制造，是高级汽车技术中心和马库姆社区学院 (Macomb Community College) 的创意结晶。

在密歇根州沃伦市 MCC 南校区举行的为期两天的活动中，汽车制造商和供应商展示了一些展品，向现场的学生们介绍有关汽车设计和技术的最新趋势。此外，GM、FCA 和福特公司展示了一些车辆，并允许学生坐在方向盘后与车辆设计师和工程师交谈。

为了进行展示，AAM 使用了赛车遥控车和一个滑板坡道，向学生们展示了前轮驱动、后轮驱动和全轮驱动的区别。在精彩有趣的演讲中，AAM 高级开发团队解释了 AAM 的技术及其对客户的重要性。

客户参与和竞争评估主管 Sean Conway 表示：“看到学生们在我们的演讲过程中如此投入，真是令人惊讶。”“在完成爬坡和飙车实验后，这些学生对不同的车辆架构有了基本了解。更重要的是，他们现在知道 AAM 对于汽车工业和‘传递力量’的重要性。我认为我们甚至可能与一些未来的 AAM 员工建立了联系。”

  • risks related to a failure of our information technology systems and networks, and risks associated with current and emerging technology threats and damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, cyber attack and other similar disruptions;
  • global economic conditions;
  • our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
  • our suppliers', our customers' and their suppliers' ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
