I am a member of a professional engineering fraternity, Theta Tau. We have Professional Development sessions, where each member explains a tidbit about their major, like something they are doing. An electrical engineer would briefly explain a camera system, for example, and what was involved in their design of the system and what stuff they did, like creating the circut board and programming it to spec. A civil would tell of how a road or bridge is actually engineered, and not slapped together (I didnt really think there was much to a road).
Sometimes we do plant tours. We have toured the local Pratt & Whitney plant, the Dassault-Falcon Jet plant in Little Rock, and a few others in the works, like Anheuser-Busch and Superior Wheel. It occured to me that Wilson Combat would be really cool to tour, especially as we have no Industrial Engineers currently (for the assembly line, etc), but a few Mechanicals. We could get both sides of that. All the member seemed receptive to the firearms PD I did last semester, and were intrigued to learn some facts for a change, and to handle what was probably their first firearms in some cases.
Now I haven't called them yet, but has anyone ever done this sort of thing? How receptive are gun manufactures to this sort of thing?
