In honor of the Asian American and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month, we observe the critical role of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders involved in STEM careers supporting the manufacturing sector. Take a look at the SME members, programs and industry initiatives that are supporting this community and their dedication to manufacturing.
