I definitely recommend a visit to a large manufacturing plant before you graduate. I had the pleasure of a visiting a John Deere plant here in Iowa where they assemble combines and the experience blew my mind.
Sometimes it is hard to get a good idea of what you may be doing after you graduate if you have not been exposed to any type of manufacturing/industrial setting but once you see things happening in front of your eyes, it is almost like everything you learned in class starts to make way more sense.
After I visited this plant, It was much easier to understand what Just in Time Production means in real life and you can clearly see how they utilize Lean Manufacturing extensively in every step of the assembly process. Amazing experience!
