This robot was programmed by Madison College students, with assistance from Fanuc Robotics, Big Sky Engineering, Isthmus Engineering, Braas Co and Keyence Corp.
We are developing the 2-year Automated Manufacturing Systems Technology associate degree program at Madison College. Program start is set for fall 2013. Enrollment is scheduled to open in April 2013.
During the development phase we are offering two certificates. Courses from these certificates will transfer into the program.
Please check out the links below for more information and to register for the certificates.
Most of the courses listed in the certificates are currently offered for free through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant at Madison College.
For an example of what our students are currently learning and doing as part of the free EDA classes in Robotics and Programmable Logic Controllers, please visit our YouTube Channel - PSDettmerMATC
