The fair was supported by partner sponsors Shambaugh & Son of Fort Wayne, Indiana; Cardinal IG of Fremont, Indiana; Troyer Group of Mishawaka, Indiana; and Ariel Corp. of Mt. Vernon, Ohio; and supporting sponsors Parker Engineered Seals of Syracuse, Indiana; CE Electronics, Bryan, Ohio; Eva-Lution of Angola, Indiana; Federated Insurance; and GPD Group of Akron, Ohio.
Business representatives were offered tours of the engineering building prior to the fair. Employers praised the fair for its organization and described Trine students as respectful and prepared.
