ZEISS Metrology Scholarship Contest

Metrology is an Essential Part of Manufacturing and Engineering Education. ZEISS can help your institution create an engaging metrology program to prepare students for the precision measurement now needed in manufacturing. Our program goes beyond the theoretical by offering hands-on instruction with cutting-edge inspection instruments. Students get to use ZEISS CMMs and other ZEISS metrology equipment to better understand GD&T concepts, become better machinists, and importantly, gain the necessary knowledge and experience for industry success as highly skilled trade professionals. Beginning in 2015, the program now supports more than 200+ colleges and universities across the country, involving over 28,000 students, and participates in more than 40 collegiate and academic events each year. It supports the needs of both the student and the institution with a single academic solution with ZEISS metrology equipment and free software training, service and application support, student learning material, and online tools.
