Field trips for student cadets, engineers, and technicians

The community college engineers were enrolled in a class in mechanical strength of materials. They hope to obtain jobs at local companies upon their graduation from Bristol Community College. Many of the students were people in their twenties and thirties, working full time and taking classes to equip them for better jobs. A field trip to Benthos, Inc., a company that manufactures a wide range of oceanographic instruments was arranged. Benthos also manufactures instruments for the Navy and photographs inside the plant were not allowed.
