Apply for an Introduction to Robotics course this summer

Learners who have a high school diploma or GED are invited to apply for a free (to Arizona residents), two-day Introduction to Robotics in Microelectronics Manufacturing course. This interactive and hands-on training course is designed to introduce students to industrial robotics programming, a critical asset to have in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries. No prior experience is necessary. Students outside of ASU are welcome to apply.

Four sessions of this two-day course will be offered on the following dates:

Friday, April 21, 2023
Lecture: 2–5 p.m.

Courses will take place at ASU’s Polytechnic campus. A specific location will be provided to students accepted into the program.

Offered by ASU’s AZNext program and the Manufacturing, Automation and Data Engineering Science and Technology Center, or MADE STC, and instructed by Sangram Redkar, associate professor in the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, students can expect to gain skills in problem-solving, communications, professional networking and programming, as well as:

• Clean room robotics.
• Designing attributes of atmospheric robots.
• Designing vacuum robots.
• Kinematics of industrial robots.
• Dynamics and control of industrial robots.
• Robot calibration and troubleshooting.
• Clean room requirements.

The curriculum is designed to cater to any student or working professional in science, engineering or math fields. No prior programming experience is necessary. If all course hours are completed, students may earn an ASU micro-badge.
