bought the flow meter division from Emerson in 2003. Brodie International is today a $30M company, and the industry leader in the production of high precision liquid flow meters and
valves used in the custody transfer of petroleum products. Brodie counts among their customers such names as Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Aramco, and China National Offshore Oil
Company.
"In my personal experience GSU grads are able to adapt to the daily changes facing the practicing engineer. They have more hands-on experience and work well with other disciplines
such as manufacturing, sales and quality because they think beyond the technology. They think about their job as part of a business."
