Chattanooga, TN --- Chattanooga State Engineering Technology Dean Tim McGhee accepted a $1,287 check from President Brad Card of Card-Monroe Corporation to help the college purchase new specialized software for student use within the Engineering Technology Division.

Jim Joyner, Vice President of Corporate Excellence, says Card-Monroe produces very sophisticated, highly engineered products utilizing the latest in software technology. “When we told our software supplier/partner that Chattanooga State did not deliver training in the exact software that we use, they offered to provide fifty student licenses if Card-Monroe would underwrite the investment. We immediately responded to this opportunity and are happy to provide this gift,” shares Joyner.

Since many Card-Monroe employees and a number of their recent new hires have come from Chattanooga State, using the same software will benefit not only students in the engineering technology programs, but their corporation and other manufacturers that use this software as well. “It will better prepare them to be productive sooner, or increase their value if they are already employed,” stated Mr. Joyner.
