Instructor Biographies
Bonenberger, Paul
Paul Bonenberger holds a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from General Motors Institute, a M.S. in Engineering Management from the Univ. of Detroit and a M.S. in Training and Development from Oakland Univ. He spent more than 35 years with the automotive industry in ﬁnal assembly and production engineering where, for 25 years, he was a subject matter expert in mechanical attachments. In 1990, he recognized that no systematic explanation of snap-ﬁt technology existed and set about gathering and organizing snap-ﬁt design practices into a rational knowledge construct. He is now president of FasteningSmart, Inc., a consulting company specializing in product design and training in snap-ﬁt and threaded fastener attachments. Mr. Bonenberger is the author of The First Snap-Fit Handbook.
