Carl R. Marschke delivered the keynote address and received an Honorary Doctor of Engineering during MSOE's Commencement. He told MSOE's newest alumni, "MSOE graduates are pragmatic, practical, hard working, technically competent individuals who make excellent employees. You have gained competencies here. Do not be afraid to use them to your best advantage. Your hard work will be very well recognized by industry."
Marschke is president of Innomation Inc. and an MSOE Regent and supporter. 
In 2007, he founded Innomation Inc., where he develops innovative solutions in the building materials industry, including developing production machinery that creates what he named Corrucomb®, a low core-density material for modular building panels. Marschke founded Marquip Inc. in 1968.
