Closing the gap between what engineering technology programs teach and what manufacturers need.
I have spent my career working at the intersection of manufacturing, applied engineering, technical problem-solving, and education — and increasingly, at the point where those worlds don't talk to each other as well as they should. Daren Davis, LLC is a practice with two connected arms, built on 40+ years spanning manufacturing R&D, patent prosecution across a range of industrial sectors, and engineering technology education.
