It was fun to work together on a project that was our own. If you have worked with us on a large project, new construction or renovation you know that we start with a tape measure, design the layout in CAD, then insert all the specs and dimensions of the equipment,” - Warner Brown, Vice PresidentTechnology disruption is widening the gap between student learning and industry relevance of learning. At the same time, it is also shortening the shelf life of degrees and opening up variable pathways of learning. To narrow this gap we are actively participating with the Smart Automation Certification Alliance and other industry stakeholders working alongside education to create relevant standards around Industry 4.0 and more importantly access to relevant stackable learning.”
