Born in India and brought up in an industrial environment, Pri always had an inquisitive mind.<\/p>\n<p>Priyansha\u2019s grandfathers, her primary sources of inspiration, were innovators in the engineering world. Her maternal great-grandfather was a maintenance engineer, while her paternal great-grandfather started as a machinist and worked his way to one of the first gear manufacturers in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>Priyansha is the only female in her family to earn a formal mechanical engineering degree. In India, she obtained her Bachelor\u2019s of Engineering in Mechanical Branch \u2014 working on manual lathes and milling machines, and making sure she got her hands dirty on the school\u2019s shop floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMachines have always excited me,\u201d Nayak noted. \u201cSince childhood, the noise of the gears turning gave me goosebumps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From educational research to engineering reality\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Pri was only 21 years old, she moved to the United States alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an independent woman, I wanted to do something on my own and carve my own path to success,\u201d Pri stated.<\/p>\n<p>Eager to expand her knowledge on more complex mechanisms than the manual apparatuses she grew accustomed to in India, \u201cI knew I had to learn from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After visiting Connecticut, Pri discovered that the New England state had an incredible manufacturing history. When looking for an education in the latest technology, she was excited to find Goodwin University\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/manufacturing\/cnc\/certificate-accelerated\">CNC Machining, Metrology, and Manufacturing Technology program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Priyansha moved to Connecticut, enrolled in Goodwin\u2019s accelerated CNC program, and graduated with her certificate in less than six months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire experience was beyond my imagination,\u201d Priyansha enlightened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoodwin\u2019s\u00a0CNC program\u00a0was all-encompassing. I learned a combination of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/manufacturing\/cnc\/certificate-accelerated-curriculum\">inspection, manufacturing,\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0production<\/a>. We started out with basic computer numerical control (CNC) programming and elevated to multidirectional approaches in machine cutting and rotating capabilities,\u201d Nayak explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were also exposed to Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programming, so while we machined our parts, we also inspected them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the best parts about the program was the internship opportunities Goodwin offered,\u201d Pri recognized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first week, we already had companies coming in to offer internships. I started training at an aerospace manufacturer while still attending college, and it all worked in harmony,\u201d she specified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoodwin has great relationships with the Connecticut manufacturing industry, and those opportunities gave students a launchpad for success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daring to do something different\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always knew that I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, but my family shamed me for dreaming about a manufacturing career,\u201d Pri revealed. \u201cMy cousins who ran a manufacturing business in India would mock me that I was just an engineer and that I only had theoretical knowledge. People also often insulted me that being a girl, I never dirtied my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile working toward my bachelor\u2019s degree in India, I was one of three girls in a class of 80 boys,\u201d Pri disclosed. \u201cIf I received good grades, my male classmates disrespected me for it, remarking that I only got good grades because I was an \u2018attractive girl.\u2019 Then, if I happened to get a bad grade, the comments changed to, \u2018See, this is not a career for girls.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>There was no winning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the contrary, during my entire CNC programming courses at Goodwin, all my professors and peers supported me. I was the only female in my cohort, but I never received any different treatment. I was always expected to work just as hard as the guys, and I think that\u2019s really important, too,\u201d Pri emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment you start drawing borders between guys and girls, that\u2019s when we lose the whole point of equality. I never had the idea to<em> prove people wrong and show them that a girl can do anything.\u00a0<\/em>Of course, I respect that ideology, but I don\u2019t believe in doing something to solely prove or show the world my capabilities. My motto is \u2018<em>Whatever you do, just give it your best.\u2019<\/em>\u00a0That way, if you are doing something right, it will be seen and reflected positively back to you,\u201d Priyansha encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will also never forget the day when one of my Goodwin professors acknowledged the hardships of being a woman in this industry, but he also taught me how to grow from it and build myself better. I can\u2019t thank my instructors enough for where I am today. They helped me throughout the program and professionally trained me for an amazing career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabricating her future\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Priyansha currently works as a manufacturing mechanical engineer for Timken Aerospace Drive Systems (ADS), a company connected to Goodwin\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/career-services\/ccn\">College Central Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in charge of manufacturing and production planning,\u201d Pri described. \u201cI\u2019m constantly on rounds for production, purchasing, quality, and planning support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there happens to be an issue on the shop floor like a production breakdown, I am the point of contact engineer. I am also the lead engineer for several customers \u2014 responsible for contract reviews, quality assistance, implementation of improvements, and final inspections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since graduating from Goodwin, Priyansha also programs CNC machines and provides audit assistance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/manufacturing\/quality-management-systems\/\">quality management systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am grateful that Goodwin introduced me to this company,\u201d she indicated. \u201cTimken is a huge team and one big family \u2014 we take pride in what we do, and I was honored to be considered an essential worker for our country in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/enews\/modern-manufacturing-career-opportunities-for-women\/\">women moving into the manufacturing industry<\/a>, \u201cWomen bring a lot of different dynamics to the table,\u201d Priyansha acknowledged. \u201cWe often demoralize ourselves for being too complex, but that\u2019s one of the best qualities we can offer when it comes to this career. Women add so much depth during the design process and tend to manage economically \u2014 using simple materials to get maximum outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding any advice for female fabricators considering manufacturing careers, \u201cAlways respect your journey and work to keep getting better,\u201d Pri advised. \u201cI often tell myself, \u2018I am built with every mistake I make,\u2019 and continue to focus on the path of constant growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor all the women out there considering work in the manufacturing field, I just want to say, don\u2019t limit yourself to a career based on outdated gender roles. We do not have the right to say we need equality if we don\u2019t consider ourselves equal in the first place. Rise above. Do not be afraid to get your hands dirty. Break the barriers, and don\u2019t shy away from showing your true potential. You don\u2019t know what you are missing out on if you don\u2019t take a leap of faith. You are stronger than you think you are, and you <em>can<\/em> have it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for the friends and family of a woman pursuing a manufacturing profession, please support her in all her endeavors. I cannot imagine my life if it weren\u2019t for my biggest cheerleaders, my parents. You never know what battle a woman is fighting in today\u2019s world, so stand your ground and show your support in any way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Interested in learning more about Goodwin\u2019s manufacturing programs?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><strong>Visit: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/manufacturing\"><strong>www.goodwin.edu\/manufacturing<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pri\u2019s Story: From strong manufacturing student to proud producer How Priyansha Nayak went from a manual machine operator in Mumbai to a top-tier mechanical engineer As a child, Priyansha \u201cPri\u201d Nayak would often play with gears and wrenches instead of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/enews\/student-story-pri-manufacturing-student-to-producer\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pri\u2019s Story: From Strong Manufacturing Student to Proud Producer<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":8525,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_stopmodifiedupdate":false,"_modified_date":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1064,8,1063],"tags":[48,796,156,268,1112,1069,943],"class_list":{"0":"post-8524","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-manufacturing","8":"category-profiles","9":"category-university-news","10":"tag-advanced-manufacturing","11":"tag-associate-in-cnc-machining-degree","12":"tag-cnc","13":"tag-featured","14":"tag-profile","15":"tag-student-profile","16":"tag-student-success-story","18":"fallback-thumbnail"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Women in Manufacturing Student Story: Pri Nayak | Goodwin University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how Priyansha became a top-tier mechanical engineer in Connecticut through Goodwin\u2019s CNC program.
