对于太阳城娱乐官网的学生伊森·克鲁格和德文·斯特罗来说，在工业分布项目中，动手学习是他们日常生活的正常组成部分。 今年4月，当他们的教授本·布拉谢尔博士带他们去佛罗里达参加物料搬运设备经销商协会（MHEDA）会议时，他们得以瞥见是什么让太阳城娱乐官网如此特别。 As ID majors, a program that is part of the 商业与技术学院, they’re accustomed to experiential learning opportunities. At this conference, Ethan and Devin saw firsthand how they will be able to use the skills they’re learning at 太阳城娱乐官网 when they enter their future professions.

工业分销的学生，就像太阳城娱乐官网的所有CBT学生一样，在实践中学习。 通过鼓励批判性思维的实践经验，Ethan和Devin学会了保持成长心态的重要性。 他们受到了从错误中学习的挑战。 ID项目的教授们开设课程，确保他们的学生学习技能，模仿他们未来职业生涯所需的技能。 

When discussing his ID classes, Ethan explains how “professors teach baseline knowledge of multiple different industries.” On his recent road trip to the MHEDA conference, he was pleased to learn how “what (he) got taught last semester actually is a real-life application.”

Devin shared how it was “easy to make connections” at this conference with 600 MHEDA members representing over 200 companies from around the world. He shared how “getting out of your own little bubble” was the key to benefitting from all this conference had to offer. He’s grateful for this opportunity because he was able to learn about companies that he’s now interested in for potential internships.

除了德克萨斯农工大学、普渡大学、克莱姆森大学和东卡罗莱纳大学等几所大学外，太阳城娱乐官网大学也有机会参加MHEDA会议，为学生提供了一个绝佳的交流机会。 According to Ethan, he was able to build “relationships with CEOs (and) vice presidents” but he also appreciated the chance for “student relationship bonding.” 他注意到他仍然与他在会议上遇到的几个人保持联系，他觉得他仍然在收获他在4月份经历的这次公路旅行的好处，这次旅行是由工业分销合作伙伴计划实现的。

While Devin admits that the ID program is the “best kept secret at 太阳城娱乐官网” he also wants to share it with others and hopes for new recruits. 像MHEDA会议这样的机会让他在课堂上学到的东西变成了现实，他认为这种经历也会让其他学生受益。

感谢有机会学习更多关于技术的使用以及工业供应链特有的问题，两位学生在会议之后继续学习，感谢他们与许多人建立了联系。 In typical 太阳城娱乐官网 style, Ethan and Devin were able to take what they’ve been exposed to by their professors and use it as a springboard for the vast knowledge shared with them at the MHEDA conference. 从这次旅行中带回的不仅仅是美好的回忆，这些太阳城娱乐官网学生能够增加他们可以使用的连接，因为他们规划了自己的职业生涯。
