Heavy-duty truck drivers demand reliability, so it’s no wonder so many choose Cummins to power their vehicles. Cummins engines are known for their long lives and outstanding uptime. In fact, many drivers exceed the million-mile mark in their Cummins-powered machines. When they do, they are invited to join the Cummins Million Mile Club. Today, we’ll hear from Cummins Million Mile Club member, Pi
Women have long been under-represented in engineering in the United States... ...so when Cummins Chemical Engineer Alyssa Arend met with a group of Girl Scouts last year, she had a secret weapon to pique their interest in the subject: A model of the company’s QSK95 engine made entirely of LEGOs. “What makes this so great is that it effectively shows how the STEM area is both approachabl
The gray, rectangular machine emitting a bright blue light doesn’t look particularly impressive as it quietly goes about its work at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana.... But some believe the technology it uses could one day change manufacturing as we know it. 3D printers can take extremely detailed instructions to make precise objects a layer at a time, with relatively
Some students at Schmitt Elementary will soon spend part of their school day having fun with rubber bands, straws, plastic tubes and other household items.

It happens like clockwork every May. The air gets warmer and the weather gets less predictable and more intense, and we all know it’s coming. So there are really few excuses not to have a backup power plan in place. After all, you may only lose power for a couple of minutes, but it could also end up being weeks. And enduring a power outage that long could prove to be a miserable experience.
